In - service training courses and degrees : is it time for quality improvement and rebranding ?
Tóm tắt
Universities in Vietnam facemany challenges in the coming
years. Some of these challenges
have been addressed through
the establishment of higher
education goals which seek to
increase the number of student
enrollments, employ more
faculty with advanced degrees,
upgrade the quality of instruction,
reduce class sizes and generate
revenue from other instructional
activities (Runckel, 2010).
Workable responses to some of
these goals can be found within
the basic purpose of ‘Continuing
University' programming and its
mission to educate underserved
populations. Offering expanded
university degree options to
underserved students lifts higher
education from an exclusive
enclave for the few in favor
of open access for the many.
Educational administrators need
not fear that broadening the base
of academic offerings will lead
to a degradation of quality. If
universities commit to simple
quality improvement processes
that focus upon the learning
outcomes of every student in
every program, then ‘Continuing
Education' degree programs will
become a valuable partner in
meeting Vietnam's educational
goals of the futurel
