Policies on environmental education in VN:

14.08.2013

-Environmental education forms part of the national curriculum for

primary schools in Vietnam and children are taught about the

environment from core textbooks used in subjects such as Socio-natural

and science.

- In Decision No. 20/2006/QD-TTg

on “Development of education,

training and vocational education in

Mekong Delta to 2010”, MoET

acknowledged that education

resources specifically related to the

Mekong Delta region were needed.

MoET recognises that students should also learn about their local

environment. The environmental education resources developed by

KGBR Project have sought to fill this gap.
