The German Embassy in Hanoi on Nov. 10 recognised the Lomonosov primary school in Hanoi as a member of the “Schools: Partners for the Future” (PASCH) network.

The recognition is one of the activities to mark the 35 th anniversary of the Vietnam-Germany diplomatic ties.

The school has become an official partner of the German Government to receive direct assistance in teaching facilities and funding for teaching the German language.

The PASCH network will create more opportunities for Vietnamese students to get access to Europe in general and Germany in particular, said the German embassy’s representative.

Through the network, students studying German will be allowed to sit for international exams at the Goethe Institute in Hanoi at various levels based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (GER).

PASCH is an initiative of former German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Not only will there be a cooperative relationship between the two schools of two different nations but also a worldwide network of schools where German is taught as a foreign language and relationships are maintained with a German school.

The initiative has been carried out at more than 1,500 schools across the world and in Vietnam , seven schools in Hanoi and two in HCM City are members of the network./.
