Vietnam, Finland boost education ties

Finnish Ambassador to Vietnam Ilkka-Pekka Simila said the talk aimed to foster Vietnam- Finland education cooperation and share Finland’s educational experience with Vietnamese education policy makers, educators, parents and children.

He also noted that the book would be an inspiration for teachers and schools across Vietnam.

The talk was co-held by the Embassy of Finland in Vietnam, the National Academy of Education Management (under the Ministry of Education) and the Vietnam Intellectual Cooperation Center of Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
