We are now proposing the original text of this Charter during our training sessions to Vietnamese-speaking participants to collect more ideas for improvement of the text in the process.

Not only must we include Education for All on our Agenda, we must also include Ethics in the context of the Vietnamese culture. Our Globethics.net training program “Culture and Ethics in Vietnam Context” aims to help learners understand Ethics in their own culture.

The right to a quality education is, I believe, the perfect path to bridge the gap between different cultures and to reconcile various civilizations. Without such a right, the values of liberty, justice and equality will have no meaning. Ignorance is by far the biggest danger and threat to humankind.

The proposed text is excellent. However, we think Vietnamese teachers at home tend to have shorter text with more focus on practical ethical issues. At the October 1, 2020 AGM, the VNTU delegates in Vietnam had opted for a short version of 10 articles for the Vietnamese Chapter.
