The World Bank, acting as an administrator for the Global Partnership Output-Based Aid (GPOBA) on May 24 approved a grant of 3 million USD to support poor Vietnamese students in secondary schools.
Under the project, about 7,500 students in 11 provinces - three in the northern mountainous area and eight others along the central coast and Truong Son Mountain Range - are expected to benefit from the project.
The East Meets West Foundation (EMWF), an US non-profit organisation, will receive the grant and carry out the project.
Victoria Kwakwa, WB Country Director in Vietnam said that this is one of the first projects to use an output-based approach in the education field and will contribute to Vietnamese government’s goal of providing universal upper secondary education in the 2015-2020 period in Vietnam./.
