Since 2012, Nghe An has allocated over 170 billion VND (7 million USD) to assist Lao provinces in human resources training. The provincial People's Committee has directed receiving Lao officials and students for language training at the Nghe An Pedagogical College, and undergraduate and postgraduate education at Vinh University, Vinh Medical University, Nghe An University of Economics, Industrial University of Vinh, and Vinh University of Technology Education. 

The province has also granted scholarships to 1,157 Lao officials and students at local universities and colleges.

The remaining students, based on their Vietnamese language proficiency, preferences and training needs, will be selected to pursue specialised studies at various universities in Nghe An./.
