Vietnam, Laos boost cooperation in training Lao students
The Lao Embassy in Vietnam, in collaboration with the Mekong University, held a conference in the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long on July 12 to sum up the training and management of Lao students in Vietnam in the 2023-2024 academic year, and put forward tasks for the following year.
In the 2023-2024 academic year, there were nearly 10,200 Lao students learning at educational institutions in Vietnam, of them 252 rewarded for their outstanding performance.
Lao Deputy Minister of Education and Sports Phankhavong Samlane appreciated the effectiveness of the coordination and training organisation of relevant parties as well as the efforts of Lao students in the past school year.
For the coming academic year, he expressed his hope for continued good coordination and more efforts to promptly address shortcomings in the training work.
Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc asked educational institutions to focus on increasing the quality of training, especially in accreditation and curriculum innovation.
On this occasion, the Lao Embassy awarded a Certificate of Merit to the Mekong University for its achievements in training human resources for Laos, and the university also granted scholarships to the Lao Ministry of Education and Sports and provinces to select and send qualified individuals with suitable capabilities to study and conduct research at the university.
