Dr. Phan Minh Liem, 39, has remained in the U.S. after going there to study on a scholarship program in 2005. He now works at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, home to one of the world's largest cancer clinical trials programs. Aside from the lack of a modern and professional working environment, low income and poor remuneration mechanisms are other reasons why many Vietnamese individuals prefer to stay and work abroad than going back, Liem said. If scientists do not have the opportunity to constantly update their knowledge, learn, and exchange information with colleagues in a cutting-edge environment, they risk falling behind and being unable to catch up, he added. Prof. Pham Quang Hung, who has been teaching physics at the University of Virginia since 1982, said: "I stayed on in America in order to pursue my passion for research." Hung had obtained a PhD in Physics from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and conducted postdoctoral research at … [Read more...] about Unfavorable working environment discourages graduates abroad from returning home

The last section of the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet Expressway is under urgent construction to be open before this year's end. (Photo: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) – As of the end of September, the Ministry of Transport (MoT) had disbursed 53.7% of total public investment planned for this year, higher than the national average of 47%, according to Luu Quang Thin, deputy head of the MoT’s Planning and Investment Department. Yet, the figure was lower than that of the same period last year (61%) and the progress was behind the schedule, Thin admitted. There are another 23.3 trillion VND worth of public funding waiting to be spent until the end of this year, he added. 2022 is a challenging year for the sector, given that the government has allocated over 50 trillion VND in investment for various public transport projects managed by the MoT, said Minister Nguyen Van The, adding that it is the largest annual amount ever assigned to the ministry.
