Outcome Impact | The Ethics education will create awareness on ethical values that help to reduce misconduct among teachers and students in schools and empower social cohesion through awareness of moral education in Vietnam. Estimated 100 trainees per year. The certification pathway will equip students the capacity to seek scholarship to finance their studies in all disciplines. This program will bring the necessary cashflow for capacity building of the community of VNTU teachers. The Skills development training is a tailored program that help students/learners to adjust their career plan to their own capacities, or to build more capacities to cope with the career plan (depending on the students’ priorities). |
Our added value | Online learning, English writing and speaking skills are among the most needed skills by teachers and students alike. The teachers training will benefit more to the students at large, as the Vietnamese public school network does not require English skills from teachers, and consequently teachers do not have the resources to upgrade their skills on their own, and thus lag out on learning resources that are mostly available in English for the rest of the free world. With our capacity building programme, learners will know about their rights and obligations and pass it on to students and staff, thereby creating a chain reaction in the social environment and living conditions, as ethical behaviour will be improved. Adequate professional competences will help workers to get better paid jobs with foreign investors, which in turn will boost the Vietnamese economy for better living standards. The certification pathways programme will help reduce the private household in their budget for education of their children with a better quality education at a lesser price. A better learning environment will reduce drop outs and crime rates among youth due to unemployment and on the increased awareness on ethical principles as a whole. |
