Established in 1951 with the name of National University of Science Education, the school was headed by Prof Lê Văn Thiêm, the father of Vietnam's Mathematics society. In 1956, it was merged with National University of Arts and Social Science Education and renamed Hanoi University of Education. In 1993, the university, along with University of Hanoi and Foreign Language Teachers' Training College, became the main posts for the establishment of Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNUH). However, thanks to the Vietnam government's requirement for establishing an independent institution to train teachers, the university was split from VNUH in 1999 and renamed the Hanoi National University of Education - a hitherto major national university in Vietnam.
Hanoi National University of Education was founded on 11 October 1951. Since then, it has been accredited by the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam (MOET), which has also managed and awarded the university's undergraduate and post-graduate degrees. HNUE was a member of Vietnam National University, Hanoi for 6 years (1993-1999). It is one of the 14 key national universities in Vietnam.
