The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has announced it will provide US$90 million (Bt2.77 billion) to help Vietnam strengthen teaching skills and courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and social sciences.
They hope that these measures will ensure upper secondary graduates have the skills to meet the country’s labour needs. “Viet Nam’s thriving economy has highlighted a gap between what schools teach and what employers need,” said Eiko Izawa, senior education specialist in the Southeast Asia Department at ADB.
“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.”
