September 1, 2010

The Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training and the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports signed a co-operation agreement for this year on August 31.

Under the agreement that was signed in Hanoi, Vietnam will receive 130 Cambodian students for graduate and postgraduate courses, internships, research and short-term refresher courses on science, technology, the Vietnamese language and other fields.

Vietnam is also willing to receive Cambodian students who wish to study in Vietnam with their own money or funded by international organisations and the Cambodian government.

For its part, Cambodia will accept 10 Vietnamese students for study at its universities and 20 officials to learn the Khmer language over two years.

Both countries will send working teams to each other to review co-operation and examine the outcome of their students’ study.

The countries will support co-operation in scientific and educational research between Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City and between border provinces and encourage the exchange of educational materials, magazines and reviews.(VNA)
