Initial enrollment: Be careful when implementing international affiliate programs

At the Workshop to introduce the integrated program between the Program general education Ontario, Canada with the Vietnamese general education program, the questions need to be consulted continuously. Excited about the international affiliate program, but the parents are also confused.

”Does that school’s capacity profile meet the conditions of association, when I send my child to study abroad, does it meet the conditions of any university abroad?”, Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Van, parents of students wondered.

According to Ms. Ha Thi Thu Hang, parents of students: ”Learning a bilingual program will definitely cost more than public schools, I also hope to have close supervision and close management of institutions. authorities, the output quality is guaranteed”.

Parents’ concerns are justified because many international affiliate programs have had to be halted in the past due to the lack of legal guarantees or the expiration of the pilot period. In fact, since last year, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training’s suspension of enrollment for the Camgrird program has pushed many students and parents into a confusing situation.

Ms. Cam Tu, a parent of a student, said: ”If we stop enrolling in 6th grade, will students go to high school in a few years’ time, if we stop, how will they continue?”.

To avoid putting students and parents at risk, Nguyen Khuyen Primary and Secondary School has been more careful in choosing an affiliate program. Planning from 2019 but not until 2022 when the program is simultaneously appraised and approved by the Ministry of Education and Training, the Provincial People’s Committee, and the Copyright Office, the school will deploy for the next school year.

Teacher Do Thi Lam, Principal of Nguyen Khuyen Primary and Secondary School, City. Buon Ma Thuot, Dak Lak said: ”3 years to prepare the team, prepare the facilities and equipment, then we are confident enough to implement the program, we have to go slowly, surely step by step to complete the program. ensure the fairness and interests of students”.

Professional with many years of experience study abroad consultantAssociate Professor Nguyen Thi Phuong Hoa also said that besides the legal element of the program, schools and families also need to consider other criteria so that attending an affiliate program becomes a solid luggage for their children. I study abroad.

According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Hoa, Director of Duc Duc Bridge Center CTC: “In order to ensure the implementation of a good international association program, it is necessary to ensure the elements of facilities, human resources, and the way of organization. position and entry level of students”.

Also according to Associate Professor Phuong Hoa, parents should learn about the assessment and degree system of the program to meet the admission requirements. In the event that they do not study abroad, what will they benefit from when studying in an international joint program? Careful observation and reference to many sources will help parents avoid falling into the “traps” of excessive communication of the affiliate program.
