Japan helps Vietnam upgrade primary schools
(VOV) - The Japanese government has agreed to provide more than US$243,000 in non-refundable aid for a project on upgrading two primary schools in the northern provinces of Bac Giang and Thai Nguyen.
Two non-refundable aid packages were signed at the Japanese Embassy in Hanoi on January 30.
Accordingly, US$120,000 will be granted to the Ngoc Son primary school in Bac Giang, and US$123,000 to the Duong Thanh primary school in Thai Nguyen.
As the Ngoc Son school has only 17 classrooms, unable to meet the growing number of pupils, a new eight-classroom building will be constructed on nearby campus.
The Duong Thanh school will build eight new classrooms in addition to its six existing ones.
