Eight years ago, the ministry kicked off a piloted English program for preschool children with the aim of helping them familiarize themselves with English paving the way for small children’s better English learning in the future.

Speaking at the seminar, Nguyen Ba Minh, Director of the Department of Early Childhood Education under the Ministry of Education and Training, said that,  up to now, the piloted program to help preschoolers to be familiar with English has achieved important results. There are 58/63 provinces and cities applying this program for children with a total of 321,149 participating individuals.

Accordingly, preschools are associated with the Department of Education and Training-approved foreign language teaching centers. Most parents advocated the piloted program.

Ministry of Education and Training shared that, the program is designed with the aim to develop children’s communication skills. The program is built on the point of view of ‘child-centered’ education -using the child as the starting point for lesson plans and for developing a curriculum. 

Interactive classroom activities are designed to help children familiarize themselves with the new language by exploring and discovering the surrounding environment in various forms according to the educational motto ‘learning through play’ which is integrated through educational and communication activities.

Deputy Minister of Education and Training Ngo Thi Minh said that the Ministry of Education and Training highly appreciated localities’ efforts in implementing the program for the sake of children. Deputy Minister Minh suggested that localities pay close attention and approve English teaching programs for children, as well as step up the digitization of curricula and documents to improve the effectiveness of teaching activities.
