1 Since UNICEF Set Up An Office in 1975 in Viet Nam

1 Since UNICEF set up an office in 1975 in Viet Nam, it has run projects in various fields
to provide the highest possible support for children in our country. The organisation
particularly aims to create opportunities for all children in Viet Nam to attend school,
learn and succeed. The following programmes help achieve the UNICEF's education aims
for Viet Nam. Education for Disadvantaged Young People UNICEF helps disadvantaged
teenagers continue their education by offering them job training and career advice. They
are also taught essential skills for the job market. Providing Education Opportunities for
Children with Disabilities This programme gives children with disabilities a chance to get
access to and benefit from a quality education. It also helps promote equal participation
in society and a culture in which people respect each other. Improving Learning
Achievements This is another practical programme supported by UNICEF. The aim is to
better prepare children for the challenges in the future. UNICEF helps Viet Nam in
joining regional educational programmes to improve children's learning achievements.
When they leave school, they should have the necessary skills and knowledge to work in
a fast-changing world
2FAO AND ITS ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT VIET NAM The Food and Agriculture
Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) was formed in 1945. Its main aim is to end
hunger and poverty by making sure all people have access to healthy food. It hopes to
raise the levels of nutrition and the standard of living in its member countries. It also tries
to improve the production of food and agricultural products, and make sure they reach all
groups of society. FAO started working in Viet Nam in 1978. Since then, it has provided
Viet Nam with technical support and advice to the government. It has also helped Viet
Nam carry about 400 projects, including food security and nutrition. Food security means
that all people have access to enough and safe food while good nutrition or getting the
right type of food is essential for normal growth and development.
3Gender equality has been greatly promoted around the world. However, there are still
many challenges that women face. First of all, there are still girls who are forced to get
married before the age of 18. In many places, parents may see child marriage as a way to
protect daughters from violence. However, many of these young girls become victims of
domestic violence. Child marriage also carries serious health risks as young girls are not
physically developed to give birth. Secondly, more than half of the world's uneducated
people are women. This means fewer girls than boys go to school or stay long at school.
Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young. They can also have better
job skills and can earn higher salaries. Education gives girls the opportunity to have a
better life and give back to their communities. Thirdly, women are often paid less than
men. In other words, women have to work longer than men to earn the same amount of
money. Differences in career choices might be one reason. Women tend to become
nurses, secretaries, or shop assistants, which are low-paying jobs, while men choose high-
paying careers as surgeons, airline pilots, or engineers. Women are still not equal to men
in today's society, and governments, organisations and individuals must work together to
achieve gender equality.
4WOMEN’S FOOTBALL It is commonly thought that football is a sport for men. In

fact, it is a sport for women, too. The first recorded football matches between women
took place in 1890s in Scotland and England. Women’s football became very popular
during the First World War when women started working in the factories. In 1921,
however, the football Association (FA) decided that the game was not suitable for
women. The ban lasted for 50 years until it was finally lifted in 1971. In the same year,
France and the Netherlands played the first official women’s international football match.
However, it took 20 years for the first FIFA Women’s World Cup to happen in 1991 in
Asia. Since then, the competition has been held every four years. Nowadays, like men’s
football, women’s football is becoming more and more popular. Women’s professional
football has developed significantly and the Women’s World Cup has drawn worldwide
interests.
5Kim: I think face-to-face learning is better than online learning because I can
communicate with teachers and other classmates immediately and directly when I
have questions. In class, I can work in groups and discuss with friends. This helps
me understand the lessons better. When I have a problem, I can ask for answers or
help immediately. I can't do this in online classes. I have to email my teachers and
wait for their reply. Learning in a traditional classroom also has fewer distractions
than learning online. My teachers have many strategies to keep us focused on the
lessons. I really enjoy my lessons and learn a lot. Laura: I think online learning has
more advantages than disadvantages. My school is trying to change from face-to-
face to blended learning, so sometimes we have online classes. I don't have to go to
school, but I don't feel I'm missing any lessons by taking online classes.
Furthermore, I think I learn online as much as I learn in a traditional class. I can't
talk to my teacher and classmates, but I can email them at any time. I also have an
online discussion board where I can exchange comments and ideas about my
projects with my classmates. The only disadvantage is I really need to have a fast
Internet connection.
6MODERN SCHOOLS Modern schools are designed to help each student to be
successful. Teachers play the role of a guide for them and prepare them for lifelong
learning. They encourage and challenge them to become responsible and confident
individuals. Class discussion is a main feature of modern schools. Students are expected
to take part in discussions and express personal opinions. It is also important to ask
questions in class if students do not understand any point or instruction. Group learning is
another common feature. Students may work in small groups on a project task. In class,
teachers and students use computers to access digital learning resources. Teachers use
technology and audio-visual materials to support their lessons. Outside the classroom,
students have a chance to participate in field trips to famous landmarks such as museums,
hospitals, and industry locations. These trips give them real-world experiences. Students
also attend school camps to make friends with other students and to develop life skills in
unfamiliar environments.
