The programme, part of a partnership between Vietnamese and UK vocational training colleges, has been carried out by the British Council in collaboration with the Vocational Training Accreditation Department under the General Directorate of Vocational Training (GDVT).
At the conference, representatives from Vietnamese vocational colleges appreciated the programme’s results in human resource training.
Vocational colleges’ staffs have been trained to improve their teaching ability and provided with vocational training quality assurance tools with reference to the UK’s model and experience.
Thanks to these, teachers have become more active in applying student- centred teaching methods while students’ research and teamwork capacities have improved remarkably.
British Council Director in Vietnam Cherry Gough said that the system helps training meet demands of both trainees and employers.
Also at the event, Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Huynh Van Ti and Lord Puttnam, the UK Prime Minister’s trade envoy, witnessed the signing for the second phase of the programme.-VNA
