The initiative, which was signed on May 17, aims to build and maintain a safe, healthy, and non-violent educational environment.

Appreciating the WVI’s effort, Deputy Education Minister Nguyen Thi Nghia stressed that the agreement cooperation plays an important role in ending violence against children, thereby contributing to ensuring children’s welfare in Vietnam.

The ministry and the WVI will coordinate to introduce knowledge and skills to help teachers and students prevent violence against children in schools. The two sides will work together to introduce active education methods for teachers, Nghia added.

For students, behavioral change education will be especially focused on helping them identify the risk of violence, improving their ability to handle situations and protect themselves from violence.
