In accordance with the survey results regarding the progress of females and gender equality
according to the objectives outlined in Decision No. 383/QD-BGDĐT, data from 2024 shows that
UEH has exceeded targets in various criteria, including:
(i) The percentage of female officials and employees in leadership and managerial positions in
training and capacity-building units continues to increase and is higher by nearly 20% (compared
to the target set by the Ministry of Education and Training, which is 75%). UEH ensures and
encourages the full and effective female participation and equal opportunities in leadership roles.

(ii) The target for the percentage of female Master's degree holders among all staff with Master's
degrees has reached 52.6% (compared to the target set by the Ministry of Education and Training,
which is 50%).

Training.
Continuing the restructuring plan of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, in 2024 UEH has
implemented the reorganization of their departmental units, transforming those at the Department
level into administrative units according to the model of a university as stipulated in the amended
Higher Education Law of 2018. Specifically, 17 functional administrative Units at the Department
level have been restructured into 10 Units at the management level and 2 units remain at the
department level within the university. Among the 31 interim department heads appointed, 11 are
female management officials, achieving a rate of 35.48%. UEH consistently creates more
conditions and opportunities for female officials and employees to demonstrate and to enhance
their capabilities. Concurrently, UEH university places an emphasis on training and developing
female staff to improve their qualifications, skills, and competencies according to job requirements.
Gender equality at UEH is reflected in not only research, training, and academic activities but also

cultural, sports, and artistic activities.
