The development objective of Enhancing Teacher Education Program (ETEP) for Vietnam is to strengthen teacher education institutions to enhance teacher and principal effectiveness through improved continuous professional development. The National Teacher Education Program (NTEP) establishes a new framework for the provision of training, retraining and continuous professional development to school teachers and principals in order to meet the requirements of the Fundamental and Comprehensive Education Reform (FCER). The Government will implement NTEP from 2016 to 2021. This Program for Results (PforR) consists of two parts. The first part is defined by four results areas, which are part of the NTEP, that together contribute to meeting the overall goals of ETEP over the period between 2016-2021. These four results areas constitute the principal strategies for establishing an effective and well-functioning Continuous Professional Development (CPD) system that can provide school-based support and training to teachers and principals. These strategies or results areas consist of (i) improving capacity of Lead Teacher Training Universities and central teacher management units to enhance teacher and principal education effectiveness; (ii) developing a teacher and principal training needs assessment system to inform CPD program development; (iii) providing school-based and continuous professional development for teachers and principals; and (iv) ensuring that teachers and principals have access to CPD programs and resources through an Information and Communication Technologies-based system.The second part will mobilize world-class expertise to help develop and operationalize the strategies for improving school-based CPD for teachers and principals. This technical assistance (TA) will allow Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) and Lead Teacher Training University (LTTUs) to: (i) elaborate and operationalize policies and directives; (ii) inform and improve the technical quality of the expected results; and (iii) reinforce the implementation capacity, including monitoring and evaluation, of the Program.
