Developing Bac Ninh into a Center for higher and postgraduate education
Chairwoman of the Bac Ninh Provincial People’s Council, Ms. Nguyen Huong Giang, affirmed that the Bac Ninh Provincial Planning for the 2021–2030 period, with a vision to 2050, sets the strategic goal of transforming Bac Ninh into a hub for university and postgraduate education, closely connected with research, innovation, and technology transfer.
This resolution serves as a policy mechanism to support, encourage, and attract reputable public universities to invest in and expand their training facilities in the province. It is expected to have a positive impact on Bac Ninh’s socio-economic development and human resource capacity.
The Bac Ninh Provincial People’s Committee is responsible for reporting to the newly consolidated Provincial People’s Council at its nearest session to continue implementing this resolution. Based on budget capacity, the province will allocate and balance funding to support project implementation once the projects meet the requirements under the Law on Public Investment and other relevant legislation.

The Provincial People’s Council also reviewed and provided feedback on several important matters, including: The proposed adjustment to Bac Ninh’s 2021–2025 medium-term public investment plan; A proposal on the recovery, allocation, and supplementation of the 2025 public investment capital plan (3rd round); A proposal on financial adjustments, additions, and support for certain projects; A draft resolution on adjusting and supplementing medical service prices at public healthcare facilities across Bac Ninh province; A proposal to repeal Resolution No. 109/NQ-HĐND dated April 17, 2018, of the 18th Provincial People’s Council (2016–2021 term) on the planning of riverbed sand and gravel extraction and storage areas, as well as construction material resources.
All resolutions passed at the session are considered significant and will serve as a foundation for implementing key socio-economic development tasks.
According to the Bac Ninh Provincial People’s Committee, there are currently 56 vocational education institutions in the province, including 13 colleges, 18 intermediate-level schools, 17 vocational education centers, and 8 other institutions involved in vocational training activities. However, Bac Ninh only has two colleges currently offering high-quality vocational training programs: Bac Ninh Industrial College; Bac Ninh College of Electromechanics and Construction. These schools provide training in high-demand fields such as Industrial Electronics, Metal Cutting, and Industrial Electricity.
Despite these efforts, the province has faced limitations in recent years in terms of enrollment and training outcomes. The enrollment rate for college and intermediate levels remains low, accounting for just 16.6% of total enrollment. The technical college-level workforce (technicians) currently meets only about 15% of the demand for skilled labor with technical expertise in the province’s industrial parks and clusters. With the current scale of enrollment, vocational training structure, and qualification levels, Bac Ninh is not yet meeting the demand for building a highly skilled workforce to support the province’s socio-economic development goals.
