VVOB in Vietnam

Each child's educational journey – from early childhood, to primary, secondary and tecnical and vocational education – should be of the highest quality. Read our Annual Report to discover how we advanced quality education together with our partners in 2023. Highlights on our projects and stories in Vietnam can be found on pages 81-84.

Last August 7-9, nearly 20 education officers from the Bureaus of Education and Training of Ha Giang, Quang Tri and Gia Lai provinces gathered for an intensive training as part of the TALK project. The training focused on building pedagogical leadership skills – a challenge for many of our educators in Vietnam. 👉It was a great opportunity for everyone to learn, share experiences, and level up their skills. 👉Want to know more?

Today, we celebrate the friendships that make our classrooms and schools better places to learn and grow. Friendships bring joy, support, and a sense of belonging, creating a space where everyone feels safe to express themselves and explore new ideas. Here’s to the friends who make every lesson a little bit easier and a lot more fun. Happy International Day of Friendship! 🙌

School Leadership Matters! Research shows that leadership approaches play a crucial role in shaping educational outcomes. In today’s fast-changing world, school leaders need to adapt swiftly to persistent and new challenges. Their informed decision-making behaviours drive quality education. At VVOB, one of our key focus areas is capacitating school leaders to create environments where teachers can work their magic and guide all learners to develop to their full potential. Let’s invest in education together! #TALK #iPLAY #Education

In May 2024, VVOB and DOETs of Quang Tri, Gia Lai and Ha Giang provinces organised six workshops on coaching for more than 250 school leaders within the TALK programme.  ✨The workshops equipped participants with techniques to enhance their coaching practices, including using different reflection lenses such as autobiographical lens, students' lens, colleagues' lens, or based on theories such as: creating language-rich learning environments, process-oriented child monitoring, etc. Techniques for using visuals and cards were also introduced to make coaching even more effective. 👉These workshops are a great example of VVOB's commitment to continuous professional development for school leaders in Vietnam. We look forward to seeing the positive impact of coaching on teachers and children in TALK provinces!

We're thrilled to announce a visit from the The LEGO Foundation to Vietnam from May 6th to 10th! This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the future of learning together. The LEGO Foundation delegation will be engaging with key stakeholders, including national and provincial education authorities, NGOs, teacher training institutions, and potential partners. The visit will focus on: 👉Sharing and refining the LEGO Foundation's Vietnam strategy to best support children's learning. 🔍Discovering new developments and program priorities that can shape the future of education in Vietnam. 🤝Building a network of strong partnerships for impactful programs in the coming years.
