The revamp of the Credit Hour system is an essential step towards modernising our educational institutions. It aims to redefine how we measure a student's academic progress, moving away from the traditional time-based system to a more competency-based approach. This change would allow students to progress at their own pace, ensuring they truly grasp the material before advancing. It also opens up the potential for more flexible scheduling options, catering to the diverse needs of today's student body. This shift represents a significant change, and it will require careful planning and implementation to ensure a smooth transition.

Our Hanoi journey involves redesigning King’s College Seminary's academic formation. This includes revising the admissions process, especially the burdensome credit hour system, to fit our A.I.-enabled, self-organised leadership context.
