Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnam Association for Promoting Education (VAPE) held a ceremony in Hanoi on October 2 to mark its 16th founding anniversary.
The event was attended by Vice State President Nguyen Thi Anh Xuan and Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son.
In her remarks, VAPE President Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Doan highlighted that various forms to develop the education promotion funds have come up over the past years and the VAPE at all levels presented scholarships to millions of students, teachers, and adults with excellent learning results each year.
Particularly, the scholarship named after late President Ho Chi Minh’s teaching “Hoc khong bao gio cung” (learning never ends) has had a significant impact, encouraging people to diligently study and carry out research, she said, adding the funds established by clans have honoured the Vietnamese tradition of valuing education as well as the role of family in building the foundation of the Vietnamese culture.
She went on to say that the “Nhan tai Dat Viet – Tu hoc thanh tai” (Vietnamese talents) award has been maintained and developed since 2005, honouring talents in scientific research and sparking creativity in such areas as IT, health care, environment, agriculture, and education promotion.
It has so far attracted the participation of nearly 7,500 authors and scientists, including 250 expats.
The 2025 award was launched on the occasion./.
