- Educational ICT Pilot Initiative: Viet Nam
The World Economic Forum’s Digital Divide Task Force is proposing three Forum initiatives to be piloted in Viet Nam. The goal of each is to extend Internet access for students into remote, rural schools that will not otherwise become connected for several years. Each seeks to develop and test new collaborative business models that are sustainable, scalable, and could be rolled-out to other countries in Asia. - Viet Nam government to connect all schools by the end of 2005
The government of Viet Nam is working to connect all research facilities, universities, colleges, vocational training schools and over 1,000 high schools by the end of the year. This is part of a strong push towards nationwide connectivity, with the aim of raising Internet penetration to around five percent by 2005. - Viet Nam establishes an ICT in Education strategy
Viet Nam has announced plans to raise levels of ICT in education and e-government so as to be competitive with other members of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN). - Coca-Cola Learning Centres
Providing a dynamic environment in which Vietnamese youth can extend their education through IT access and tools, Coca-Cola, in partnership with Vietnam's Ministry of Education-Training and the National Youth Union has set up an inter-linked network of learning centres in secondary schools and youth centres across Vietnam. Covering 33 provinces and cities and benefiting an estimated 10,000 students and their teachers, 40 centres have so far been built. Staffed by teachers, these Learning Centres are equipped with computers providing Internet and e-mail access, software and books in a comfortable learning environment, for use both during and after school hours. The programme includes the annual “Young Leaders of the Future” contest, covering a number of academic disciplines and involving the 200 top students involved in the Learning Centre programme. Eventually the programme will cover each of Vietnam’s 61 provinces and cities.
