- Description
-
The Project will help the Government of Viet Nam gradually expand upper secondary education by 2010, and support the Government's major curriculum and textbook renovation at upper secondary education. The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) plans to introduce a 3-year pilot tryout of a new, diversified upper secondary curriculum starting from 2002/04 school year. The Project will help improve the quality and efficiency of upper secondary education by supporting the Government's effort to diversify the curriculum and textbooks in line with student-centered, active learning methods during the tryout and revision period, and by developing quality support systems such as trained teachers, improved libraries, and wellequipped laboratories, and student assessment. The Project will promote access, equity and participation in upper secondary education disadvantaged provinces through (i) school facilities; (ii) provision of furniture and equipment; and (iii) study support programs for the poor, ethnic minorities, and girls.

- Rationale
-
The quality of education suffers mostly from the limited instructional time and out-of-date memorized teaching/learning methods. The Ministry of Education and Training plans to introduce the new, diversified upper secondary curriculum which will introduce general curriculum courses designed for students.
In addition, significant disparities in enrolments and cycle completion between rural and urban and among ethnic groups appear at the upper secondary level.
- Objectives and Scope
-
The Project will contribute to reduce poverty in Viet Nam through development and improvement of upper secondary education. The Project will improve quality, efficiency, equity, and management capacity in upper secondary education by strengthening quality support systems nationwide and targeting some of the most economically as well as educationally disadvantaged areas of Viet Nam. The specific objectives are to improve quality and efficiency of upper secondary education, promote access, equity, and participation, and strengthen institutional capacity from Ministry of Education and Training to local level of administration.
The Project comprises three components: (i) supporting conditions for quality improvement in upper secondary education; (ii) improving access, equity, and participation in upper secondary education in disadvantaged areas; and (iii) strengthening management of upper secondary education.
