“5-year-old children need more of our attention to develop skills needed to enter primary school. Understanding the importance of the 5-year-old Child Development Standards, ChildFund and other international organisations have been accompanying the Early Childhood Education Department to develop the standards with the desire to better prepare 5-year-old children upon entering grade 1.” – Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Lien, ChildFund Vietnam Country Director shared.
