Celebrating 30 years of partnership in Vietnam

We have celebrated 30 years of partnership in Vietnam’s education sector with a landmark achievement: the Oxford Test of English (OTE) is now officially recognized by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET). 

As a department of the University of Oxford, we have worked alongside Vietnam’s education sector across three decades to advance English language learning and teacher development. Key initiatives include co-developing English textbooks aligned with the 2018 General Education Curriculum and delivering training programmes that have benefited hundreds of educators nationwide.

In 2023, FPT Schools became the first in Vietnam to join the global network of Oxford Quality schools, reflecting shared standards of excellence.

An anniversary event in October brought together officials from MOET, Vice Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong, educators, and valued partners to mark three decades of collaboration and future aspirations.

We also announced 200 test slots for the Oxford Test of English for teachers and lecturers, showing our continuing support for professional development and international certification. 

Richard Grazier, Sales and Marketing Director at OUP, said: “This 30-year milestone is a celebration of collaboration and progress. We are especially proud that the Oxford Test of English is now officially recognized by MOET—a significant achievement that will open new opportunities for teachers and learners across Vietnam. Together, we look forward to shaping the next chapter in English language education.”

Looking ahead, we remain committed to supporting Vietnam’s educational vision with world-class resources and expertise to continue to empower learners, support teachers, and build a brighter future for English language education in Vietnam.
