In August 2026, the ‘Sharing with Teachers’ 2026 program, themed ‘Joyful Classrooms,’ was announced in Hanoi. Organized by the Vietnam Youth Federation, the Ministry of Education and Training, and Thien Long Group, the initiative seeks to honor approximately 200 outstanding teachers working in mountainous and ethnic minority areas. The program emphasizes the importance of human connection and emotional bonds between teachers and students to counter social isolation caused by increasing technology and artificial intelligence. Following this, the Vietnam Education Publishing House, in partnership with the Committee for Overseas Vietnamese and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, launched a training program for Vietnamese teachers and volunteers living abroad. In August 2026, 50 participants from 14 countries attended training to update teaching methods and enhance their capacity to preserve the Vietnamese language. By early September 2026, the Vietnam Education Publishing House (NXBGDVN) expanded its distribution of educational materials for the new school year, releasing 228 million textbooks and 84 million workbooks and reference books. Orders reportedly exceeded initial plans by over 150%. To support remote, border, and island regions, the publisher donated approximately 60,000 books, valued at nearly 1.7 billion VND, to provinces including Lao Cai, Lang Son, and Dien Bien. Furthermore, NXBGDVN donated 200 million VND worth of reference books to the libraries of three specific boarding schools in border areas: Thanh Nua, Thanh Yen, and Sam Mun. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-05: Vietnam Education Publishing House expands textbook supply for remote schools Vietnam Education Publishing House has supplied over 228 million textbooks, ensuring full coverage for remote and border schools while donating millions in resources to disadvantaged regions. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnam-education-publishing-house-supports-overseas-vietnamese-language-teachers ### 2026-08-17: Vietnam launches ‘Sharing with Teachers’ 2026 program The ‘Sharing with Teachers’ 2026 program in Vietnam will honor a record 200 educators in mountainous and ethnic minority regions under the theme ‘Joyful Classrooms.’ 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnam-launches-sharing-with-teachers-2026-program --- Cite as: Vietnamese educational support and language initiatives.
