The CALOHEA National Meeting in Vietnam aims to present an overview and benefits of the CALOHEA project, it is also to disseminate and engage with various stakeholders about the three recognition mechanisms (RMs) being developed within the scope of the project. The goal is to develop more comprehensive and effective learning outcomes in higher education in Vietnam, contributing to the internationalization of higher education institutions in Southeast Asia by developing a range of measures through three RMs. These RMs are expected to be crucial for higher education reform in Southeast Asia, as they not only impact mutual recognition of training programs and promote student-faculty exchange within ASEAN but also aim for mutual recognition and exchange between Europe and ASEAN.

Sharing his thoughts after attending the event, Dr. Pham Tuan Hung, Head of the Testing and Education Quality Assurance Department stated: "Through the workshop sessions, lecturers, researchers and students have the opportunity for better understanding the necessary skills and the criteria used to measure learning outcomes. Higher education institutions in Southeast Asia, when applying the results of the CALOHEA Project, can easily use the outcome framework for credit transfer, promote faculty-student exchange, and recognize degrees. This way, individuals and higher education institutions in Vietnam will contribute more to the integration and internationalization in education and national development." |
