New Year Messages from Can Tho University Rector

Dear Learners, Lecturers, and Colleagues,

On the occasion of the coming new year- the New

Water Buffalo or Xin Chou Year, and on behalf of

Can Tho University's Communist Party Committee,

Board of Trustees, and Rectorate Board, I would

like to cordially extend sincere best wishes to

different generations of Can Tho University's

employees, graduate students and undergraduate

students.

The past year 2020 went by amidst the impact of the COVID-19, but the year has witnessed

our great efforts in making achievements that meet or exceed the set targets in almost all

the areas of our work and that extend the journey of development and contribution of Can

Tho University over the past fifty five years to be a higher education institution of high

quality and international level.

In the past year, Can Tho University implemented the revised and new study programs and

made substantial changes in teaching contents and methods in order to improve the quality

of teaching and learning.

The year 2020 marked further success of Can Tho University in the area of research and

technology transfer. We carried out and completed many international collaborative

research topics, many national, ministerial and institutional research projects, as well as

many technology transfer agreements and programs.

We have actively boosted domestic and international partnership.

Our inclusive partnership with the provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta Region and

enhanced partnership with many city and rural districts in the Mekong Delta Region and

the partnership with some provinces in the Central and Central Highlands all have brought

about substantial outcomes.

In particular, we have tried our best to implement efficiently the Can Tho University

Improvement Project funded by the Japan's official development assistance (ODA) and the

Technical Cooperation Project granted by the Japanese Government.

Continuous investment has been made in enhancing the infrastructures and facilities of

Can Tho University; there has been ceaseless improvement in the quality of administrative

work and services.

The University organization system has been operating effectively. The employees' income

gets better and better. The solidarity and consensus of opinion among the employees for

common development goals have been reinforced and brought into active play.

Recognizing the aforementioned achievements, the Minister of Education and Training has

awarded emulation flags to 2 units and the Excellent Labor Collective titles to 18 units of

Can Tho University.

Can Tho University has received the honorable JICA President Award which esteems the

contribution of ours to the profession of human resource training and social development

through international collaborative programs and projects.

In addition, there have been numerous awards and prizes from different levels presented to

our individuals and units.

All those achievements have been made thanks to constant mental contribution and efforts

by our individuals and units led by the University's Communist Party Committee, Board of

Trustees, and Rectorate Board.

I would like to take this occasion to enthusiastically credit and appreciate our tireless

efforts and considerable contributions.

We can take pride in being a part of Can Tho University thanks to the aforementioned

outcomes. And this is the strong drive for us to step into the year 2021 and the coming

years with strong and inclusive orientation for development.

In the atmosphere of delight and belief in further success, allow me to send best wishes of

safety, good health, happiness, and prosperity to different generations of Can Tho

University's teachers, employees, alumni and their family; and I wish all graduate and

undergraduate students of Can Tho University outstanding progress and outcomes in

education and training.

I would like to send Happy New Year best wishes for happiness to our teachers and

employees who have been further studying and working overseas and therefore cannot

enjoy the New Year family reunion. I have strong belief that you all will complete your

mission and come back to join hands in further developing our Can Tho University.

With cordiality,

Professor Dr. Ha Thanh Toan

Rector of Can Tho University

THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION

(https://se.ctu.edu.vn/en/)

The SoE was one of the first four academic units founded in Can Tho

University in 1966. After 1975, the SoE was divided into two different

schools: Natural Science Education and Social Science Education with the

mission to train high school teachers. Later, they were divided into 5

departments: Mathematics and Physics (1980), Chemistry and Biology

1980); History and Geography (1982); Vietnamese Linguistics and

Literature (1983) and Foreign Languages (1983).

The SoE was restructured by merging the 5 departments in 1996. In July

2009, the School of Social Sciences and Humanities was founded, and some

SoE staff were transferred to the new schools. In March 2015, CTU founded

Center of Foreign Languages, School of English Education and School of

French Education, and some SoE staff were transferred to these units. The

SoE has also provided human resources for the School of Natural Sciences

(founded in 1996) and School of Pre-University (founded in 2007).
