HANOI -
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has
approved an US$85-million (S$107.3 million) new education model in primary
schools.
The
approval follows an assessment last week of a piloted education programme in 24
primary schools in Ha Giang, Lao Cai, Hoa Binh, Khanh Hoa, Dak Lak and Kon Tum
in the school year of 2011-12.
The
Ministry of Education and Training has been assigned the task of supervising
the project over the next three years beginning in June.
The
project is being funded by the Global Partnership for Education.
Le Tien
Thanh, head of the Ministry of Education and Training's Primar Education
Department, said the new education model would replace traditional teaching
methods in the country's schools.
Under
the programme, students will be encouraged to do more self-study, while
teachers will act as supervisors. There will also be far less reliance on rote
learning.
Priority
will be given to 20 disadvantaged provinces which have a high proportion of
ethnic students.
It is
expected the programme will be introduced in 1,447 primary schools throughout
the country.
