Son said the law would help improve education by sending teachers abroad to study and research.

However, there is no plan to bring back lecturers and scientists who are working overseas.

Son said it is good to send teachers for training, but the city also needs to attract them back.

Many Vietnamese intellectuals want to return to Vietnam or work with local universities.

Son suggested giving the city special support to bring them back.

He said a special policy would be very helpful in attracting science and technology experts.

This approach would follow a resolution about overseas Vietnamese and use their skills in universities.

Thu Thiem will become an international financial center, according to city plans.

The city needs special rules for university areas.

The law offers incentives for talented people and allows the city to give scholarships.

Son said scholarships should not only be for high achievers, but also for students in needed fields.

The law already has special rules for attracting science and technology personnel.

Son asked lawmakers to clarify which organizations can use these rules and if they apply to all city agencies.

The minister also wants special rules for university areas, like those for high-tech parks.

These areas are not just for teaching, but also for research and innovation.

Son said the right rules would help universities work with businesses and accelerate research.

The National Assembly will debate the law and vote on it as part of a package of laws.

Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's largest economy, accounting for a quarter of the country's GDP.
