WB Supports Education Reform in Vietnamanh: giao duc
The World Bank (WB) recently approved its funded Enhancing Teacher Education Programme, which supports the delivery of continuous professional development to teachers and principals. The programme will enable general education teachers and principals master a new curriculum and pedagogical approaches, and adapt teaching practice to the needs of individual students.
The programme will benefit more than 600,000 general education teachers and principals, which is nearly 80 per cent of the total number in the country. Teachers and principals will receive customised and just-in-time training and support through enhanced school-based training and an internet-based distance-learning and support network.
The learning management system will not only facilitate distance learning, but also serve as a portal to a large resource library, a social media platform for teachers and principals, web-based classroom observation, and help desks. The programme also supports the establishment of a training and support needs assessment system that can help adapt services to teacher needs.
The programme is financed with a US$95 million credit from the International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank Group’s concessional lending source for low-income countries.
