Approaching Viet Nam as a case study for National Aesthetics,
a plausible branding of a product that reflects Viet Nam’s aesthetics would be transnational
education as explained in the article Issues
in Transnational Higher Education Regulation in Vietnam by George Nguyen
and Anna Shillabeer. The groups that best assists in facilitating Viet Nam’s
development would be foreign investors and the government of Viet Nam itself.
However, since transnational education is a new method of approaching new
lengths in higher education in Viet Nam, it may resume potential risks “in
terms of financial, personnel, legal and other considerations due to the
increased investments required” (Nguyen & Shillabeer 638). As the risks of
transnational education may lead to a potential fiasco, commercial presence
seems to be the most popular model in Viet Nam as it gives students the
opportunity to acquire a foreign degree while being in Viet Nam. As explained
in the article, “Vietnam is ready and able to embrace of global trends in
education and become a player on the world stage in terms of graduate placement
in the workforce” (Nguyen & Shillabeer 640). Viet Nam’s government has been
giving preliminary measures in showing their active participation of investing
in Viet Nam’s education as their policies and governance measured to be
plausible in sustaining Viet Nam’s development. However, there must be more
improvements in the government regulations and mutual partnerships in terms of
internationalizing higher education in Vietnam as it still lacks a sufficient
regulatory framework that suffices in collaborating between foreign investors
and the student attainment of Vietnamese students.
