The course was sponsored by the Vietnam Embassy and the VietnameseAssociation in the RoK. It was established based on the fact that more than60,000 out of approximately 170,000 Vietnamese expatriates in the country werewomen married to Korean men, and most of their children cannot speak theirmothers’ native language.

Aiming at children aged 6 – 14, the course is set to runclasses every Sunday afternoons between April and December on an annual basis. Textbooksused for the course were compiled by the RoK Ministry of Gender Equality andFamily. Six Vietnamese students who are studying for doctorate/ master degrees atRoK universities and have teaching experiences are in charge of these classes.

The students’ mothers voluntarily pay part of the tuitionfee, and the Asian Development Fund (ADF) contributes part of the course’srunning cost.

The Vietnamese Association in the RoK plans to open moreclasses of this type across the country. It will work with the ADF to offerscholarships for the students to pursue higher education in Vietnam.
