Hanoi wishes to enhance educational cooperation with New Zealand’s partners
The Hanoi Department of Education and Training and the New Zealand Education Agency have signed a memorandum of understanding on educational cooperation as a basis for advancing particular projects.
Hanoi always wants to strengthen cooperation and share experiences in the field of education with New Zealand’s partners, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung said at a reception for New Zealand’s visiting Finance Minister Grant Robertson on October 29.

In the field of education, Hanoi has made many reforms and considers it a pillar in its development strategy, the mayor stressed, adding that the city still lacks English teachers and programs to meet the goal of innovation.
