Funding is now available UK-Vietnam ELT partnerships under phase two of the Teacher Activity Groups (TAG) programme, with the aim of building a group of TAG exemplar provinces.
Grants are open to all UK and Vietnam ELT providers, provided at least one partner (either from the UK or Vietnam) has participated in the TAG pilot phase (2022-2023).
About the call
The main objective of the call is to leverage the expertise, knowledge and experience of UK and Vietnam ELT providers to identify and establish a group of provinces as TAG exemplar provinces.
It will be based on the partnership model (UK ELT providers in collaboration with Viet Nam ELT providers and Vietnam provincial DOETs) developed through the TAG pilot phase (2022-2023).
Expected outcomes can be found in the Call for Proposals document below.
This programme will be implemented for 18 months, from April 2024 to September 2025.
The initial aim is to develop up to seven TAG exemplar provinces, with a maximum allocation of £25,000 per province.
Additional grants can be considered to reach more than seven provinces, depending on proposals received.
Who can apply
This call is open to all UK and Vietnam ELT providers to establish partnerships, provided at least one partner in this phase two project (either from the UK or Vietnam) has already participated in the TAG pilot phase (2022-2023).
Proposals should demonstrate how the expertise, knowledge, and experience gained by ELT providers in the TAG pilot phase will be leveraged for the implementation of the phase two project.
