100 teachers will attend the course.

This year's course is the fifth consecutive year it has been held and is also the final year in the training roadmap approved by the Hanoi People's Committee.

Reiterating the education sector’s policy in training a generation of global citizens, Mr. Tran The Cuong informed: In previous years, the average English score of students in schools in remote, isolated areas, and disadvantaged areas was only 2-3 points, but now it has reached over 5 points. This is the motivation for the entire sector to work together to fulfill the mission and goal of training global citizens.

“The organizers hope that each teacher will participate in the course with a spirit of learning, seriousness, creativity and discipline, maximizing responsibility and proactively practicing. The success of the course is not only measured by the number of study hours or certificates achieved, but more importantly, the change in thinking, teaching methods, language ability and confidence of each teacher after completing the program,” said Mr. Tran The Cuong.

At the opening ceremony, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training assigned tasks to relevant units, including managing, monitoring, and supporting the course; proposing a roadmap for replicating the model, preparing resources for the next training courses; advising on the mechanism for using, arranging, evaluating, and recording teachers' learning outcomes after completing the course...
