| Delegates discussing solutions to improve the quality of education for Lao students |
As of November 3rd, 2026, Hue College was responsible for managing 397 Lao students studying and living at educational institutions across the city. Of these, 303 were enrolled at universities, while 94 were taking preparatory Vietnamese language courses at Hue College.
For the 2026–2027 academic year, Hue College has coordinated the completion of enrolment procedures for 90 Lao students entering degree programs. The University of Medicine and Pharmacy admitted 42 students, followed by the University of Sciences with 17, the University of Economics with 13, the University of Agriculture and Forestry with 11, the University of Education with 6, and the School of Engineering and Technology with one.
During the 2025–2026 academic year, all 90 Lao students who took the Vietnamese language proficiency test achieved Level 4 or higher under the Vietnamese Language Proficiency Framework for Foreigners. However, their academic performance in specialised subjects still faces certain challenges. Although most students meet the Vietnamese language requirements for university admission, many continue to struggle with listening comprehension, academic communication, reading specialised materials and understanding subject-specific content. Differences in foundational knowledge, learning methods and the ability to adapt to the university environment have also affected their academic performance.

At the meeting, delegates discussed measures to improve education quality and help Lao students stay on track with their studies. Particular attention was given to providing additional Vietnamese language support for specialised subjects, strengthening foundational knowledge, assigning academic advisers and offering targeted assistance to students with low grades, outstanding course requirements or a risk of extending their study period.
Hue College also proposed that educational institutions establish study groups bringing together Vietnamese and Lao students, and consider introducing a “Study Buddy” model to support academic progress, Vietnamese language communication and social integration. The college also called for closer information sharing on academic results, attendance and study progress each semester, allowing institutions to coordinate timely support for students.
On this occasion, delegates also discussed preparations for a scientific conference scheduled for September 10th, 2027, at Hue College, marking 25 years of education and management of Lao students (2002–2027). The conference is expected to feature 20–30 scientific papers focusing on improving education quality, applying science and technology, innovation, digital transformation and presenting research findings by Lao students.
Through closer cooperation, educational institutions aim to improve the quality of human resources for localities in Laos while further strengthening friendship and cooperation between Hue and Lao localities.
