Proposal to open a dual degree program between Vietnam and Australia

(Dan Tri) - The leader of a high school in Hanoi proposed opening a program to integrate general education between Vietnam and the state of Victoria, Australia.

At the workshop "Australia - Vietnam Cooperation: Promoting digital transformation in the education sector" recently organized by the Australian Government Trade and Investment Commission, the leaders of Phan Huy Chu High School proposed to the Australian Embassy in Vietnam and the leaders of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training to pilot an integrated program, granting dual Vietnamese - Australian degrees to high school students.

According to school leaders, the purpose of the above proposal is to achieve the goal of making English the second language in schools.

Accordingly, students will study two programs in parallel, one in Vietnam and one in Victoria, Australia. The graduation exam will take place at the same time as this exam in Australia. The value of the graduation certificate allows students to study abroad easily and also to enter top universities in the country.

Also at the workshop, many principals of high schools in Hanoi worked with Edtech (educational technology) businesses to find effective digital transformation solutions, focusing on the following areas: learning management systems, lesson design and student assessment tools, English education programs, STEM and life skills.

16 leading Australian Edtech (educational technology) businesses attended this event, including two famous brands: design software Canva and math learning application Matific.

A representative of Matific said that this application now has a localized version specifically for Vietnamese students. Matific's team of experts studied the 2018 general education program and standardized exams in Vietnam, including the 10th grade entrance exam, to design appropriate math problems for each level of education.

From 2022, Matific is partnering with Oxford University Press and Marshall Cavendish in the Asia- Pacific region to provide innovative mathematics learning solutions specifically for students in this region.

The Australian Embassy in Vietnam said that the country identifies education as one of the most important pillars in the cooperative relationship between the two countries.
