Italy, VN sign action program on educational cooperation

Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc (R) and Italian Ambassador to Viet Nam Antonio Alessandro sign the pact

The Italian side will consider providing textbooks, sound equipment and other educational materials for Vietnamese general education institutions to teach Italian as well as train teaching assistants. 

They will also pilot teaching Italian in some selected high schools in Viet Nam, with the Italian sides offering teaching programs and funding part of the teaching costs.

Cooperation between Vietnamese and Italian universities will be promoted, with support to be given to their trips to form such partnership.

Also in the context of the cooperation program, Italy will offer annual scholarships to Vietnamese citizens, and vice versa. Particularly, Viet Nam’s scholarships for Italian citizens will focus on sponsoring their learning of the Vietnamese language or taking part in short-term training and refresher courses./.
