Overseas Vietnamese pupils at Khmer–Vietnam Tan Tien primary school started their 2013-2014 school year in Phnom Penh on October 14.

Nearly 300 Vietnamese pupils are registered at the school. Though parts of its facilities have closed due to the recent flooding, the school is doing all it can to offer pupils the best school curriculum as scheduled.

Addressing the school opening, Vietnamese Ambassador Ngo Anh Dung said besides the Vietnamese language, the Vietnamese children should also pay attention to learning Khmer and subjects as in other Cambodian schools so that they can easily integrate into the host society.

On the occasion, Ambassador Dung presented scholarships to four outstanding overseas Vietnamese students in Cambodian universities and bicycles to five pupils at Tan Tien school.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia and Bank for Investment and Development of Cambodia also took the occasion to grant gifts to excellent pupils.-VNA
