Over 30 Australian schools to exhibit in Vietnam
Tuesday, 11 May 2010
The
Australian Schools Open Day 2010, an annual exhibition organized by the Australian
Government, is returning to Ho Chi Minh City and
Hanoi.
The exhibition will be held in HCMCity on
May 15 at the Legend Hotel Saigon, and Hanoi
the next day at the Melia Hanoi Hotel.
The Australian Consulate General in the city said
representatives from more than 30 Australian high schools will be participating
in the exhibition, providing information about their education programs,
curriculum and education pathways, as well as practical advice about the
benefits of living and studying in Australia.
Australian Senior Trade and Investment
Commissioner, Mr. Tony Burchill, underlined the importance of the exhibition in
promoting Australian schools to Vietnam.
“Australia
is a popular destination for Vietnamese students who value its world class education
system, reputable institutions and excellent studying and living environment.
Strong growth continues across all levels of education with almost 24,000
enrolments in Australia
in 2009 and a 20 per cent growth in secondary education enrolments between 2008
and 2009”.
“The Australian Schools Open Day is a key event
for raising awareness of the Australian school system in Vietnam.”
He added, “It enables students and their families
to meet and talk directly with representatives from a wide range of institutions
to gain an understanding of the programs that are available and the studying
and living environments they offer, factors that are critical to the decisions
that families make about their children’s future education.”
