In
recent years, although attracting investment resources for education
has achieved certain results, it is still not commensurate with the
potential. Cooperation and investment in education are still isolated
and have not made a breakthrough in the whole system. Foreign investment
in education is still small compared to the socioeconomic sectors of
Vietnam. The seminar "Public-private partnership in education" is a
forum for experts and scientists to make suggestions and recommendations
to create favorable conditions for cooperation and investment in
education. in Vietnam and potential cooperation models in the field of
education.
