Abstract

Vietnamese higher education is undergoing radical and comprehensive reform in line with the general trend of higher education in the world.

On the basis of clarifying the theoretical issues of accountability, the article proposes some solutions to improve the efficiency of accountability of public universities in Vietnam: Review, supplement and readjust the legal documents on accountability of the university; Carry out accountability in various forms; Form the accountability culture in universities.
