Vietnam pushes IT training for teachers
Vietnam’s commercial capital Ho Chi Minh City hopes to speed up the modernisation of its schools by introducing vendor-supported IT training programmes for teachers.
Teachers will use their spare time to learn how to type, scan pictures, make film documentaries, run internet searches and create lesson plans with the help of vendors such as Intel, Yahoo and Microsoft.
Huynh Kim Sen, Deputy Director, Secondary School Section, HCM City Education and Training Department estimates that 70 per cent of teachers in the city use computers to aid their teaching in the classroom.
Sen shares that the municipal department hosts a web site with lesson plans, new teaching methodologies, reports and other useful information for teachers. The web site also allows information sharing between schools.
The move follows Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung’s announcement earlier this month (14 May 09) at the Asia-Europe Ministerial Meeting on Education to comprehensively revamp Vietnam’s education system, which involves cooperation with China, Thailand, Singapore and other countries.
