Proposed Models of Public-Private Partnership in Facility Investment in Vietnamese Public Universities

The process of decentralization in public higher education management in Vietnam today gives public universities the autonomy to be more proactive in matters of organization, personnel, academic to enhance the quality of training and scientific research in order to improve their position and competitiveness with domestic non-public universities and universities abroad. However, this process also poses significant challenges for public universities in mobilizing financial resources to compensate for the decreasing budget allocated by the Government. To ensure quality, the investment in modern facilities to meet the needs of learners is an important requirement. This study aims to survey the needs of public-private partnership and propose models of public-private partnership in public university facility investment that are suitable for the current Vietnamese context.
