Generation "3 models"

1,364 new graduates from 13 majors and 9 training programs of the Academy of Public Administration and Management have officially received their university degrees. Among them, 103 students graduated with honors and excellent grades.

This marks the end of a four-year learning journey for a special generation of students who have grown up through the pandemic and adapted to historic changes in the school's organizational structure.

In his speech, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Ba Chien - Director of the Academy of Public Administration and Management - emphasized: "The 2021-2025 course is a very special milestone.

You are perhaps the only student group to experience three organizational models in one course: Receiving admission from Hanoi University of Home Affairs, experiencing learning with the National Academy of Public Administration, and graduating with a diploma from the Academy of Public Administration and Management.

Surely, every time you hear the name of your beloved school change, you feel both proud and confused. Every change is a time of adaptation, a new experience. And then, with faith in the path you have chosen, you still keep your steps, and steadfastly move towards your destination.

Nguyen Phuong Anh - valedictorian of Cultural Management - said that entering university during the Covid-19 pandemic and witnessing the school change its name twice was an unforgettable experience.

Speaking on behalf of all students at the ceremony, the female student shared: “We started our university journey with the squares of the screen, learning to discipline ourselves, encouraging each other during the anxious days. It was those special days that trained us to become a stronger, more courageous, and more resilient generation.”

Don't keep what you have learned, learn how to renew your self-worth.

The speech of the Director of the Academy of Public Administration and Management moved more than 1,300 students and parents present at the graduation ceremony. From his experience as a policy researcher, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Ba Chien reminded his students about the importance of lifelong learning.

“We are living in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), big data, digital government, digital society, digital economy – where the speed of change is unprecedented.

New jobs can be replaced by newer jobs before they have time to create value; yesterday's knowledge, skills and attitudes will quickly become outdated compared to today and no longer suitable for tomorrow.

In that context, only those with the capacity for innovation, lifelong learning ability and the ability to create new values ​​can survive and adapt to the new context.

So, what I want to tell you today is not to keep what you have learned, but to learn how to learn, learn how to renew your thinking, renew your approach, and renew your self-worth.

We will not be able to compete with memorized knowledge but with problem-solving ability, creative thinking, cooperation, understanding, cross-cultural communication and professional ethics," said Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Ba Chien.
