Abstract

The 2012 Law on Higher Education (amended and supplemented in 2018) has initiated a fundamental and comprehensive reform of higher education towards autonomy. In the context of the Draft Law on Higher Education (amended) being reviewed by the National Assembly with the expectation of creating a breakthrough, this article focuses on analyzing a critical legal aspect of autonomy: the legal capacity of higher education institutions when participating in investment and enterprise legal relations. The article clarifies the inadequacies and lack of synchronization between the Draft Law’s provisions and the Law on Investment and the Law on Enterprises, especially when public higher education institutions act as investors or establish science and technology enterprises. Based on this analysis, the authors propose specific amendments and supplementations to Article 44 (on investment) and Article 28 (on science and technology activities) of the Draft Law, aiming to remove existing legal barriers and ensure consistency within the Vietnamese legal system.
