Yen Bai province's leader receives KOICA delegation

Thursday, September 21, 2023

YBO - Vice Chairwoman of the Yen Bai provincial People’s Committee Vu Thi Hien Hanh recently received and had a working session with a delegation of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) Vietnam Office to discuss the implementation of a project on providing equipment for some boarding and semi-boarding schools for ethnic minority students in the province. This project is funded by the Government of the Republic of Korea (RoK) through KOICA.

Vice Chairwoman of the Yen Bai provincial People’s Committee Vu Thi Hien Hanh presents a photo book titled “Yen Bai - Land and People” to Deputy Director of the KOICA Vietnam Office Yoo Soo-yeon.

During 2018 - 2020, Yen Bai benefited from a project on improving ethnic minority children’s school readiness and learning performance funded by the RoK Government via KOICA and international organisation Save the Children. This project was carried out at 14 kindergartens and primary schools in Van Chan and Mu Cang Chai districts.

In 2023, via KOICA and the Vietnamese Government’s Committee for Ethnic Minority Affairs, the RoK Government continued to provide 500,000 USD in non-refundable aid for local boarding and semi-boarding schools for ethnic minority students.

The target schools will receive equipment, including 53 televisions, 50 laptops, projectors and air conditions, among others, for nine informatics classrooms.

Addressing the meeting, Deputy Director of the KOICA Vietnam Office Yoo Soo-yeon, recognised Yen Bai’s coordination during the implementation of the projects since 2018. After three years of implementing the project on improving ethnic minority children’s school readiness and learning performance, thanks to efforts by the local education and training sector, the educational quality in the province has been improved.

On behalf of the provincial People’s Committee, Hanh thanked the RoK Embassy in Vietnam and the KOICA Vietnam Office for providing Yen Bai with the precious assistance over the past years.

She also pledged to ask the education - training sector and the beneficiaries to manage and use the equipment in the new project effectively and in line with regulations.
