The Ministry of Education is seeking to develop and improve Vietnam's gifted programmes for high school students in the next ten years, devoting more than $118 million USD.
Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Vinh Hien
Deputy Minister of Education and Training, Nguyen Vinh Hien, confirmed on Tuesday that Vietnam plans to spend VND 2.31 trillion (USD118.6 million) towards the development of its gifted high school system.
Hien made the remarks during an interview with DTiNews at a seminar on the implementation of the project held in the capital city of Hanoi on Tuesday.
The money will be used to build and upgrade facilities, purchase teaching and studying equipment, develop the teaching staff, and improve the curriculum, said Hien.
Specifically, about VND 624 billion (USD 32 million) out of the total will be spent on developing the teaching staff including sending the teachers abroad for higher education programmes.
Under the plan, Vietnam targets that by 2020 each city or province will have at least one gifted high school. The number of students who attend gifted high schools in a city or province accounts for about two percent of the total number of high school students in that area.
The country also has set a goal that by 2015, all gifted high schools across Vietnam will reach a national standard.
