Deadline: 4-Jul-22
The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) is accepting expression of interest (EOI) to identify eligible Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) for potential partnerships with UNICEF Viet Nam to support achievement of results for children outlined in the 2022-2026 Country Program and the inclusive, equitable and gender responsive approach to digital transformation in education.
UNICEF Viet Nam also supports the government in the digital transformation of the education system, to ensure each and every child has access to affordable, gender- responsive and inclusive opportunities for learning and development. We supported the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) in developing a national framework for digital literacy and transferable skills for teachers and students. The framework sets the competency standards and promotes digital literacy and transferable/life skills curriculum from preschool up to secondary school levels. It was finalized and disseminated in 2021 with subsequent training of trainers (ToT) conducted to equip teachers with the skills and knowledge needed to facilitate digital teaching and learning.
