Uncle Ho's teachings in the past still have value and profound meaning today. In the trend of integration and development, Vietnamese is an important bridge connecting the homeland and country with international friends.
For that reason, the teaching and learning of Vietnamese has always received special attention, improvement and quality enhancement from the Ministry of Education and Training in recent years.
The Deputy Minister informed: Currently, there are about 22,000 foreign students studying at over 160 training institutions in Vietnam. In the past 5 years (2016-2022), Vietnam has received and trained more than 45,000 foreign students from 102 countries and territories.
On average, every year from 4,000 to over 6,000 international students are accepted into educational institutions in Vietnam.
Along with the training trend of countries around the world, taking language foundation as the key to open the first door in a promising but also challenging learning journey, the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training always determines that the key factor determining the quality of teaching and learning of foreign students in Vietnam is Vietnamese language proficiency.
