Sharing her feelings when coming to Seitoku University, Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi Lam, head of the Department of Preschool Education, Hanoi National University of Education, said she was very surprised and admired Seitoku University with its solid education and steadfast goal of educating children's qualities, without being pressured by the development of science and technology.

"This helps every child enjoy a peaceful, happy childhood, close to nature, full of art," said Ms. Lam.

Ms. Lam commented: after a period of cooperation and research, the training content from Seitoku University can be applied to the preschool teacher training program of Hanoi National University of Education, such as teaching methods for subjects in the program, including focusing on practical content and building subject learning profiles.

In addition, with the content of training pedagogical skills for students, Hanoi National University of Education can supplement more diverse activities of the pedagogical training week such as: child care skills, skills in organizing literary and artistic activities: reading poetry, telling stories, using music, fine arts, etc.

In addition, it is possible to apply improvements to the process of organizing practice and internship for students such as: building a more scientific and effective practice and internship handbook for students.

"In particular, Hanoi National University of Education and Seitoku University can deploy and develop a number of topics, such as art education (especially the fine arts part of the training program), can organize outdoor activities, creative games, connect between kindergartens and primary schools...

Regarding inclusive education for children with disabilities, Seitoku University has strengths in music education for children with disabilities. This will be a very practical topic for preschool education in Vietnam in general, and special education in Vietnam in particular," said Ms. Lam.
