3. Historical Development

Before 1975, it was the Faculty of Pedagogy, Saigon University, which was founded in 1957. In 1995, HCMUE used to be a member of Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City.

In 1999, the Government decided to separate HCMUE from Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City to establish a national key teacher education institution of Vietnam in southern Vietnam.

At present, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education is a national key teacher education university in Vietnam. Our mission is to provide high-quality human resources, especially in the field of teacher education, to the provinces in the South of Vietnam as well as the whole country.

Our vision is to become a highly prestigious university on par with other higher education institutions in Southeast Asia by the year 2030.
