Sharing about this event, Development Counsellor Cherie Russell, Australian Embassy in Vietnam said: “Australia is proud to support human resource development in Vietnam for over 50 years through the Australian Government Scholarship Program. These scholarships help the two countries understand each other better, equip potential Vietnamese leaders with the skills and knowledge to drive change and deepen the relationship between the two countries.”

Having directly “touched” this special opportunity, student Hoang Nhat Minh, studying the Master of Education program at Flinders University in Adelaide, said: “Studying in Australia will help me improve my skills as a special education teacher, equipping me with the necessary knowledge and skills to make a more positive contribution to my teaching career in the future. I am very excited to learn about equitable education and discover the most effective application methods to bring lasting impact to learners with different learning needs."
