Australia - Việt Nam tighten education co-operation

HCM CITY — The current education market, from the readiness for partnerships to aligning such partnerships to Việt Nam’s future jobs and industry demand as well as developing graduate employability through institutional and industry linkages were the key topics discussed during the Australia – Việt Nam Higher Education Partnerships 2023. Education is a key pillar of the Australia – Việt Nam relationship. The education cooperation is growing and diversified, ranging from student mobility with Việt Nam being the fifth largest source country of international students in Australia to education partnerships such as joint programmes through transnational education with over 20,000 Vietnamese students pursuing Australian qualifications in Việt Nam. There are over 80,000 Vietnamese alumni of Australian education institutions currently working in Việt Nam. These cover a broad range of disciplines including law, business, IT, engineering, healthcare, tourism and agriculture with strong interest from Australia and Việt Nam to build new partnerships.
