The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide US$90 million to help
Vietnam strengthen teaching skills and courses in biology, chemistry,
mathematics, physics, and social sciences.
The bank said in a news release
on November 2 that the Second Upper Secondary Education Development Project
focuses on improving teaching standards by introducing international standards,
new training methods and providing new training materials; upgrading curricula,
including investing in textbooks; and providing targeted support for students
who are struggling academically.
Eiko Izawa, senior education
specialist in the Southeast Asia Department at ADB said this project will help
prepare young people for the job market, with a special focus on increasing
opportunities for women and girls, people with special needs, and students
coming from poor households.
The ADB will also invest in
improving laboratory equipment and teaching aids for physics, chemistry and
biology, and developing classrooms and materials for students with
disabilities. Targeted assistance for ethnic minority students will be
provided. Opportunities will be created for teachers to receive training
abroad.
The project will run for about
seven years, with an expected completion date of December 2019.
