(VOVworld) – Vietnam and Mozambique have signed a Protocol on Education Cooperation that will increase exchanges of students and educators and other partnership activities.

Vietnam and Mozambique have renewed education co-operation signing a new protocol after the 2008 protocol.

The signing took place in Hanoi on Monday. Currently, 16 Mozambique students are pursuing training courses in Vietnam, mostly in agriculture. Meanwhile, 25 Vietnamese students have been received to study Portuguese in Mozambique. Vietnam has also sent eight education specialists to Mozambique.
Starting this year, the number of scholarships for Vietnamese students studying in Mozambique and vice versa will be increased to 10 a year, doubling the figure agreed in the protocol signed in 2008 in Maputo, Mozambique, which focused on mutual technical support in education and training.
