Continuing, preserving, and promoting the Vietnamese tradition of ‘respecting teachers and valuing education,’ and honoring the teachers who have devoted themselves to the noble mission of ‘nurturing human resources,’ Vietnamese Teachers’ Day on November 20 has become a major celebration, especially across the entire education sector. For TDC, this occasion is also an opportunity for the college to reflect on its journey of activities and development, express gratitude for the contributions of retired faculty members, and promptly recognize exemplary figures who are passionate, creative, and active in research and emulation movements—contributing to enhancing training quality and building TDC’s brand into a strong and sustainable institution.

Alongside the development of the college, many generations of dedicated teachers have, over time, demonstrated a strong commitment to their profession. They not only focus on imparting knowledge to students and continuously refining their expertise and professional skills but also actively explore and develop various models and solutions to enhance the quality of teaching and training. Through these efforts, they have achieved notable personal accomplishments while bringing pride to their families, colleagues, and the institution as a whole.

Lecturers representing the faculties receive flowers of appreciation from student representatives of the college.

On behalf of the teaching staff, Mr. Nguyen Chi Hieu – Lecturer of the Faculty of Automotive Engineering – shared his heartfelt thoughts: ‘We understand that in today’s rapidly changing era of knowledge, teachers must continually learn—not only to teach better but also to accompany and understand students more deeply. Teachers need to be sources of inspiration and role models in terms of learning spirit, ethics, and professional dedication. Sometimes, the most valuable lessons students receive are not found in textbooks but in the way teachers live, work, and lead with their hearts.
