| Summary: | Over the past decades, internationalization of higher education has accelerated in terms of both pace and
magnitude, having impact on countries and institutions the world around. Since its start of Doimoi policy in
1986, Vietnam has achieved remarkable development in higher education. However, it is still faced with
serious chronic and emerging problems. Internationalization of higher education is therefore considered
as one of the necessary solutions for Vietnam and its institutions to enhance educational quality and thus
catch up with regional and international standards. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the policies
for and current status of internationalization of higher education in Vietnam. The paper will first analyze
the legal and policy framework for Vietnam’s internationalization of higher education. Second, it will
examine how this process is being implemented at the national level. Finally, the paper will discuss issues
and challenges that Vietnam has to face with during the process of higher education internationalization.
Data and information used to analyze in this paper were collected by the author from various sources
such as the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and the
Institute for International Education (HE). The paper therefore provides an insightful and comprehensive
understanding of the current situation of higher education internationalization in Vietnam with a variety of
facts and figures, highlighting its problems and challenges in this process and contributing to literature on
this issue in Vietnam. |
