Conference on Promoting Effective Special Education Needs Provision Between UK and Vietnam

20 March 2023
Nisai Education Trust was involved in delivering the March 2023 conference on Promoting Effective Special Education Needs Provision. The conference was supported by both the Vietnam Ministry of Education and the British Embassy in Hanoi. It was itself innovative as delegates and presenters were both online and physically at the conference venue and also working in both languages.

The conference brought together practitioners, non-government organisations and academics from both the UK and Vietnam to look at the current position and future responses to the improvement of SEN provision in Vietnam. The conference also featured the announcement of a Pilot Special Educational Needs between Nisai Group (UK) and Ha Tinh Province (Vietnam).
