Urgency of the topic Entering the twenty-first century, the development of the knowledge economy and the revolution of science and technology not only definites the top-ten situation of human in productive force but also more and more clearly understand the extremely significant role of the intellectual resource in the development of the internal resources in each nation, each country. Vietnam is in the period of turning-point for development and promotion of industrialization and modernization. The context of the world and the era is creating prospects and favorable conditions for Vietnam as well as places our nation in the face of many risks, severe challenges in the process of integration, of which intellectual lagging and backwardness are the most fearful things. As a cradle of training high-quality human resources, the higher education of Vietnam hold a heavy responsibility to the creation and development of intellectual potential of the nation. This explains the reason why the overcoming of high-level human resources through improving labor quality of higher-education intelligentsia is considered as a strategic solution to the protection and development of Nation that should be taken interest by Vietnam. This is a direct result arising from an increase in intellectural resources that is paid special attention by Vietnam and other countries in the face of Knowledge, science and technology-based economic competition. This serious problem is also explained from long-term weaknesses of training quality of higher-education human resource in Vietnam. The more deeply Vietnam penetrates into the integration, the more affected training of human resource of Vietnam will be by the rules of competition and the negative impacts of the dark side of market mechanism. Qualification and capacity insufficiency, expression of individualism, pragmatism, formalism in labor and lack of devotion of many people in the intellectural and educators to their great responsibility to the education career. Especially, quality of higher education trained human resources does not meet requirements of domestic and international labor market that is completely stranger to the nature of creative scientific pedagogical labor and Noble Qualities of teachers. If it is not promptly remedied, human resources will be affected not only in the present but also in the future. Synchronous solutions, in particular, groundbreaking remedies play an important role in overcoming those difficulties and challenges as well as in improving the mentioned actual situation. It is requirement of development of human resource that makes working quality of higher education intelligentsia become a top interest of managers and leaders as well as of the whole society during implementation of educational revolution.
