Vietnam has announced a bold new higher education reform agenda. The government of Vietnam will offer up to 10,000 government scholarships for overseas doctoral study between 2014 and 2020 (or 1300–1500 per year) to tertiary and research institute staff. The so-called 911 Project will also offer scholarships to qualified non-academic professionals committed to tertiary teaching careers. This ambitious project, together with the government’s other scholarship and fellowship projects (including the 599, 322, 165 and Mekong 1000 projects), aims to produce highly skilled personnel capable of engaging in a contemporary knowledge economy able to support Vietnam’s continued socio-economic development.
