The pilot program to teach Korean in high schools started on October 10, 2024, with about 300 students initially registering. However, due to their own schedules, only more than 100 students participated throughout the course. The three high schools with the largest number of students participating are: Dau Giay (54 students), Chu Van An (24 students) and Luong The Vinh (18 students).

According to Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training Do Dang Bao Linh, the pilot program has had positive results. However, because the teaching method is mainly online, there are certain limitations. The Department of Education and Training will have a report to the Provincial People's Committee summarizing the pilot program to support teaching Korean at high schools in the province, and at the same time have an assessment to develop an implementation plan for the next phase.
