    Welcome Remarks Welcome Remarks by Dr. Ho Thanh My Phuong, Director SEAMEO Regional Training Center (SEAMEO RETRAC) Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is my great pleasure, on behalf of SEAMEO RETRAC, to welcome all of you to this International Conference on “Impacts of Globalization on Quality in Higher Education”. I am really delighted with the attendance of more than 150 educational leaders, administrators, professors, educational experts, researchers and practitioners from both Vietnamese and international universities, colleges and other educational organizations. You are here to share your expertise, experience, research findings and best practices on three emerging issues (1) Management and Leadership in Higher Education; (2) Teaching and Learning in Higher Education; and (3) Institutional Research Capacity and Application. In view of the major challenges in the era of globalization in the 21st century and the lessons learned during the educational reforms taking place in many countries, these topics are indeed important ones. It is without a doubt that education quality, particularly of higher education, plays a crucial role in the development of the human resources of a nation. Higher Education provides a strong foundation to uplift the prospects of our people to participate and take full advantage of the opportunities in Southeast Asia and beyond. Along this line, the impact of the globalization in the development of a quality educational system has to be emphasized. It is becoming increasingly important for global educational experts to get together to identify what should be done to enhance and strengthen the higher education quality, especially in the globalized context. It has become more imperative than ever for higher education to prepare students to meet the dynamic challenges of the globalized world.

  • Da Lat at One Time Da Lat Was an Ideal Holiday Retreat, Set Amongst the Low Hills of the Central Highlands
    Da Lat At one time Da Lat was an ideal holiday retreat, set amongst the low hills of the Central Highlands. It was originally founded in 1897 by Alexander Yersin and Dalat city was established in 1912. The city served as a hill station for the French trying to escape the heat of the plains and delta. The city enjoys a year round spring like climate and this lovely setting and ideal climate have made the city a hit with domestic and foreign tourists alike. Da Lat has a charming French district behind the Rap 3-4 cinema, which is well worth exploring. This is also where a number of the good hotels in Da Lat are situated. In the centre of town there is a large fresh produce market which sells some of the nicest strawberries (when in season) that you can ever hope to taste! Da Lat is also the centre of kitsch in Vietnam. Keep an eye out for the Dalat Cowboys, who ride around the town on horseback. You an also take a ride on a swan boat in the lake or buy one of the dozens of tacky trinkets on sale in the market. Da Lat has a lot worth visiting, especially if you are into kitsch. Dalat has the only eighteen hole golf course in Vietnam, and anyone can play a round there! A few hours could quite easily be spent riding bikes around the lake a stopping off at the interesting sights near it. The Botanical gardens also offers a lovely place to hang out.

  • Wool Sourcing Guide Vietnam Vietnam
    WOOL SOURCING GUIDE VIETNAM VIETNAM The Vietnam textile industry is the third largest apparel exporter in the world accounting for 6.3 per cent of world apparel exports in 2019. Once mainly a cut and sew supplier, Vietnam now boasts a robust wool supply chain including spinning, weaving, knitting and whole garment manufacturing. HANOI This vertical integration means designers, brands and HAI PHONG buyers can source all their garment requirements from the one country, cutting out logistical times and dealing with many suppliers. CAPITAL CITY: Hanoi AREA: 329,560 Sqkm POPULATION: 96.46 million (2019) DA NANG LANGUAGE: Vietnamese (official), Chinese, English, and French HOI AN RELIGION: Buddhism, Taoism, and Catholic CLIMATE: North Vietnam has a Southern Mediterranean QUY NHON climate and South Vietnam has a tropical monsoon climate type. MAJOR PORTS: Cam Pha, Da Nang, Haiphong, Ho Chi Minh, NHA TRANG Phu My, Quy Nhon DA LAT ECONOMY: Since early 2000, Vietnam has been progressively moving away from a centrally planned economy to a socialist- HO CHI MINH CITY oriented market economy. CURRENCY: The Vietnamese Dong (JUN 2015: 1USD = 21,673VND) THE WOOLMARK COMPANY AND VIETNAM The Woolmark Company (TWC) first identified Vietnam as an emerging manufacturing hub for wool textiles in 2012 when the Vietnam textile industry begun to focus on moving toward high quality products and production. Since then, we have been working closely with partners throughout the supply chain and currently collaborate with more than 90 partners including flatbed knitters, circular knitters and garment making companies. We have transferred technical knowhow about the manufacturing of wool products, disseminated information about sources of raw materials, chemicals and machines, and organised international trade missions to connect our project partners with buyers.
