Dr. Ut V. Le emphasized: “A university should be understood and built in accordance with its role and function, which includes two main activities: education and research. With research, faculty members can discover new methods, make lectures more engaging, and expand knowledge for students. Therefore, improving the quality of university education is closely linked to the need to enhance the quality of the university's faculty. A good faculty member not only excels in teaching but also excels in guiding and supporting learners in conducting theses and research that elevate knowledge."
