Prof. Dr. Sc. Ho Dac Loc encouraged lecturers and students to continue striving in their teaching and learning journey

The ceremony concluded in a warm atmosphere, opening a new chapter filled with hope for educators in the digital era
Looking ahead to the future of teaching and learning, Prof. Dr. Sc. Ho Dac Loc shared his message. He emphasized that today’s greatest challenge is the rapid pace of technological change, which requires every lecturer to innovate in both their teaching methods and their understanding of the profession. He noted that lecturers are not only transmitters of knowledge but also learning architects who design environments that encourage students to study and explore independently. He affirmed that no technology can replace teachers because technology may provide answers but cannot create emotions or human connection. He stated that this connection is the true value of education and the driving force behind the university’s commitment to building a learning environment worthy of the trust of parents and students.
