Renovating Teaching Methods in Order to Improve the Training Quality of Professional and Elite Fire Fighting and Prevention Force

The University of Fire Fighting (UOF) belongs to the system of People's Police Schools and is an unique institution for training and retraining staff, doing scientific research on fire prevention and fighting in Vietnam. In the context of a strong socio-economic change, the demand on human resources for fire fighting and prevention is getting more and more increasing, meanwhile the traditional teaching methods are increasingly showing a lot of shortcomings. Therefore, one of the challenges posed to the education system in general and the UFFP in particular is the necessity to change the teaching methods, so as to create professional and elite fire fighters.
