Vietnam's Ministry of Education and Training currently has a
project underway to set up six community colleges that should be up and running in that Southeast Asian country by 2003, according to a recent article in The Saigon Times Daily newspaper.
The Vietnamese have received help from the Netherlands and the Polytechnic University of Amsterdam for the five-year project. Vietnamese officials estimate it will cost $4.5 million to open the six colleges, each of which will offer only one field of study at first.
Community colleges in three Vietnamese provinces will offer courses in food technology, while the other three will start programs in mechanical engineering technology, according to the Vietnam News Agency.
The news agency says that community colleges will be set up on a trial basis in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Dong Thap, Ha Tay, Haiphong, Quang Ngai and Tien Giang provinces. The colleges will begin enrolling students on a limited basis this year.
