HANOI, June 28 (Bernama-Xinhua): Vietnam has set the target to turn its Ho Chi Minh City into an international center for education and training to attract students from the South-East Asia region and the world, local media has reported.
The city, known as Vietnam's southern economic hub, has been requested to focus on training high-quality human resources, meeting international standards while adapting to digital transformation, innovation and international integration, Xinhua quoted the Vietnam News Agency report.
The city will also replace unqualified classrooms and upgrade educational equipment for educational facilities at all levels, and relocate educational institutions out of the inner districts.
The city aims to have 100 per cent of local schools developed under the smart school model. Schools at all levels will have no more than 35 students in a classroom, according to the plan.
Ho Chi Minh City is home to the leading higher educational institutions in the country, with more than 100 universities and colleges, and about 410 vocational schools. - Bernama-Xinhua
