A seminar on integration education model for disadvantaged secondary students was held in Hanoi on June 28.

This is the first pilot model being implemented in Vietnam ’s northern Ninh Binh province and central Quang Nam province in order to increase chances and conditions for disabled and disadvantaged students to enjoy education at junior secondary schools.

The project focuses on raising capacity for teachers, education managers and community, preparing conditions for disabled children to integrate, and providing special support for them.

Over 4,000 pupils at nine targeted schools have benefited from the project, while 760 staffs and teachers have been trained to improve their skills.

The pilot implementation of the model is a premise to create favourable conditions for disabled students to pursuit higher education./.
