New Delhi: Vietnam will be sending teachers to India for English
training, besides sourcing English teachers from India, according to
the ministry of human resource development. The objective behind the
entire exercise will be to prepare 20,000 English teachers in Vietnam
over the next few years.

Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan Thursday presented
the proposal to union Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal.

According to secretary (school education), the Central Board of School
Education could provide the necessary training in India, through its
Sahodaya School network.

English and Foreign Languages University (EFL-U) Hyderabad as well as
Delhi University (DU) and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) have also
agreed to cooperate with Vietnamese institutions.

EFL-U acting Vice Chancellor Amritavalli suggested that the university
could prepare 300 master trainers over three years in two batches of
50 Vietnamese teachers every year. University could also send some
experts to Vietnam.

India will also aid Vietnam in curriculum development. This
cooperation would include the offering of Indian studies in Vietnam
and Vietnam studies in India.
