Quang Nam has developed six universities and colleges in engineering, health, vocational training and economics.
The province, in cooperation with the Moscow Power Engineering Institute (National Research University), also plans to build a hi-tech science institute with the aim of developing applications for new technologies in industries related to waste treatment, silicates, pharmaceuticals and automobile production in and around the region.-VNS/VNA
