At the reception, A/Prof. Dr. Ha Thanh Toan - Rector presented to the delegation an overview of CTU activities in collaboration and support of AUF in training in French for certain majors such as Food Processing Technology, Informatics and Computer Sciences, Law, French Language and French Teaching. These programs have increasingly attracted more students who are interested. Many of CTU staff have been trained in higher education in universities in France to improve their professions. Rector Ha Thanh Toan highly appreciated AUF’s supports in recent years, and he assured that CTU will keep developing the teaching of these programs in French in the coming time. In addition, he expressed his hope that CTU would be able to receive more practical supports from AUF in order to promote the activities for the development of French language at CTU, contributing to develop French in the community, as well as a part of the development of the Mekong Delta human resources of Vietnam.

Representing AUF in HCM City, Mr. Régis Martin reviewed the activities in collaboration with CTU and highly appreciated CTU’s efforts in maintaining the academic programs taught in French effectively. Besides, he admitted that the support from AUF for Food Processing has met certain difficulties, so the supporting activities were not effective as expected, but for Law and Informatics and Computer Sciences. In the coming time, AUF will continue to support the development of teaching Food Processing in French. In addition, AUF will increase the meaningful supports to French Language in School of Social Sciences and Humanities and French Teaching in School of Education, establishing Campus Francophone Numeric Partnership Center (Centre de Campus Francophone Numérique Partenaire) at CTU to give supports directly and effectively. Also, AUF has been developing new services with the objective to benefit the universities in the francophone community such as quality assurance and applied information technology in education. Mr. Régis Martin hoped that these services in the future can bring certain advantages in CTU’s education.
