Ho Chi Minh City preschool English pilot

Overview

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training has announced a pilot program to integrate English into preschool education between 2026 and 2029. Targeting children aged 3 to 5 in qualified public preschools and advanced integration schools, the initiative seeks to build foundational communication skills as part of a long-term strategy to establish English as a second language in schools.

The pilot is designed to be non-profit and will be funded through socialized models rather than the state budget. Participation is voluntary and requires parental consent. The program aims to ensure no academic overload for children while maintaining the integrity of the national preschool curriculum. Schools must maintain transparency regarding costs, schedules, teaching materials, and curricula.
