Concluding the meeting, Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung praised the university’s efforts and achievements despite existing challenges.

The Deputy Minister stressed the need to shift educational thinking from obtaining degrees and certificates to developing practical professional competence. He called for building a high-quality teaching staff and developing a smart university model. Faculty members should be given more opportunities to participate in major investigations, legislative drafting, and practical law-enforcement activities to strengthen their real-world experience.

Regarding digital transformation, the Deputy Minister proposed computer-based examinations, biometric student management, and greater emphasis on research into emerging issues such as electronic evidence, financial investigations, cryptocurrencies, and digital payment systems. He also suggested raising English-language standards for students in order to support the Ministry’s goal of increasing the number of officers capable of working independently in international environments.

Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung expressed confidence that the People's Police University would continue its strong development and become one of the region’s leading law-enforcement training institutions.
