What are types of higher education institutions in Vietnam?

According to Clause 2, Article 7 of the Higher Education Law 2012 (amended by Clause 4, Article 1 of the Amended Higher Education Law 2018), higher education institutions are organized into the following types:

[1] Public higher education institutions, which are state-invested and ensure operational conditions.

[2] Private higher education institutions, which are invested by domestic or foreign investors and ensure operational conditions.

Non-profit private higher education institutions are those where investors commit to operate non-profitably, which is recorded in the decision allowing establishment or conversion of the institution type. They operate without profit, do not withdraw capital, or earn interest; and the accumulated annual profit belongs to the unified, undivided ownership to continue investing in the development of the higher education institution.
