More than 30 junior high schools in Hanoi, Da Nang and HCM City will take part in an UK-funded project entitled "Connecting Classrooms-Asian Dialogues".
They will be linked with schools in the UK and six countries and territories in East Asia, which include Japan, the Republic of Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan, to help broaden pupils' and teachers' horisons and allow them to work with their peers in classroom-based curriculum activities and other areas of common interest.
The themes for the activities are climate change, sports and health, global citizenship, environmental science, business, the future of the world, and science and invention.
School partnerships also provide opportunities for teachers to deepen their cultural awareness, share effective practices and develop creative approaches to their teaching, which help broaden the view of their students and prepare them for engaging with the outside world.
The project is an initiative of the British Council and the UK's Department for Children, Schools and Families and within the framework of the education cooperation agreement that the Vietnamese and the UK governments signed in March this year.
