Association for the Promotion of Japanese Language Education (APJLE) President Sato Jiro said that the course aimed to improve Vietnamese students’s understanding of Japanese culture, education and training and the local legal system, to help them best assimilate into society and give them a better chance of success in their chosen careers.
Jiro also noted that the number of Vietnamese students in Japan has increased sharply in the recent past. He quoted statistics saying approximately 8,000 Vietnamese students studied in Japan in 2013 which is four-fold the number in 2012.
Vietnamese counsellor in charge of education and training Do Van Trung stressed that more such courses will be held in the future to equip Vietnamese students with necessary knowledge of life and regulations of Japan.
APJLE statistics show 81.4% of Vietnamese students passed tertiary entrance examinations after finishing study in Japanese schools in 2012.
Japanese schools also provide scholarships to encourage students to continue their study, with 583 students approved in 2013.
