CHRD was established to meet an urgent need for improving the quality of Vietnamese human resources by reviewing the core issues of education in Vietnam using new perspectives and methods. Therefore, CHRD promotes diversification and encourages creativeness and innovation based on acquiring positive values and achievements in education from other countries.
The spirit of integrity and cooperation are core values that are considered fundamental to CHRD activities and the behavior of CHRD members. We at CHRD believe that without integrity there is no worthy result in educational research; the success of an organization is built on its own record of performance. We warmly welcome cooperation from all individuals and agencies in the country and abroad to work toward a shared goal of creating quality and progressive education.

The Research Program of International Education Institute, VNU-HCM is built upon the Center for Human Resource Development (CHRD) of Vietnam National University HCMC. It was established for the purpose of disseminating current research findings in the field of human resource development, and for implementing educational research aimed at finding ways to improve the quality of training in Vietnam. Its research and training functions aim to develop high quality human resources for the Vietnamese educational system and, through education, to improve the quality of the skilled work-force needed for socio-economic development.
