Furthermore, the balance between theoretical instruction and interactive engagement, as
well as the integration of theoretical concepts with practical applications, plays a crucial
role in delivering high-quality lectures on green finance. These strategies encourage
critical thinking, active participation, and a deeper comprehension of the subject matter.
4.2.4. Exploration of Challenges Faced by Educators
The findings are likely to highlight the challenges that educators face in delivering green
finance education. This could include constraints related to resource availability,
curriculum design, or staying current with rapidly evolving industry practices.
Recognizing these challenges is essential for institutions to provide adequate support to
educators.
The findings illuminate the obstacles that educators encounter when imparting green
finance education. These challenges span several domains, encompassing legal
frameworks, financial limitations, the limited adoption of green finance practices in
Vietnam, and the imperative for specialized knowledge.
Firstly, a substantial challenge pertains to the legal framework. Vietnam currently lacks
comprehensive legal documents that delineate the specifics of green finance and green
finance instruments. As articulated by one interviewee, “Concepts related to green
finance and green financial instruments were legalized immediately after the
Government issued Decision No. 403/QD-TTg on March 20, 2014, and individual pilot
projects began shortly thereafter. This suggests that knowledge about green finance is
still in its early stages, requiring a comparative analysis of international experiences in
this regard.”
Secondly, financial constraints play a pivotal role in shaping these challenges. Two
respondents underscored the issue of investment costs required for training educators in
green finance. As one noted, “There needs to be a determined and adequate financial
investment from universities. In my opinion, this is a matter of budget.”
