In this academic year, the Department of Education and Training launches a pilot program for Chinese language teaching and learning at Nguyen Tri Phuong Secondary School and Quoc Hoc - Hue High School for the Gifted, giving students an additional foreign-language option and supporting a multilingual, multicultural educational environment that meets the requirements of international integration.
At Nguyen Tri Phuong Secondary School, Chinese is offered to 80 8th-grade students in two classes. Meanwhile, Quoc Hoc - Hue High School for the Gifted offers two Chinese classes for 61 10th-grade students.
The introduction of Chinese into the curriculum is expected to strengthen students’ foreign-language and communication skills, while providing them with more options for further study and future careers.
