Bilingual education is becoming a key trend in Ho Chi Minh City, with an increasing number of schools established to meet parents’ needs. This model combines domestic and international programs, helping students develop flexible thinking, master languages, and gain skills for global integration. What is a Bilingual School? A bilingual school is an educational model that delivers instruction in two languages, most commonly Vietnamese, and an international language such as English, French, or German. According to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD, USA), children who learn in a bilingual environment tend to have more flexible thinking, better memory, and superior problem-solving skills compared to those who only use one language. Not only does bilingual education provide personal benefits, but it also enhances job opportunities and strengthens a nation’s ability to integrate globally. This is why the trend of enrolling children in bilingual schools is on the rise in Ho Chi Minh City, especially among families planning for overseas study or careers in international environments.

The visit by experts from the Ministry of Education, Singapore, offered UTS a chance to share its training experiences and achievements while gaining insights into modern trends, particularly in the application of technology in teaching and education management (EdTech). This exchange not only helps UTS enhance the quality of learning but also builds a strong foundation for fostering global citizens who are prepared to adapt and thrive in the digital age. Sharing on the topic: “EdTech – The modern education trend” Experts discuss the application of technology in education The integration of technology into education in Singapore is systematically implemented by the Ministry of Education, widely applied across the teaching system with tools and technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), software assisting teachers in examinations, assessments, and guiding students in their assignments. Notably, the technologies applied in Singapore’s education system maintain a high level of consistency, ensuring uniformity across the curriculum.

The early years of a child’s life are a crucial period for shaping their personality and developing essential life skills. Therefore, selecting a suitable and high-quality educational environment is extremely important, laying a solid foundation for comprehensive physical, intellectual, and emotional development. Through this article, parents can join US Vietnam Talent International School (UTS) in discovering the best criteria for choosing a kindergarten, giving children the chance to explore a vibrant world. Important Criteria for Choosing a Kindergarten Location and geographical distance Geographical location is the first factor that parents should consider when choosing a kindergarten for their child. A school near home or the workplace, especially in central city areas, will be convenient for commuting from districts such as District 1, District 5, District 7, District 2, etc. This not only makes drop-offs and pick-ups easier but also saves time and transportation costs. Moreover, selecting a school in a safe area with convenient traffic conditions ensures peace of mind for parents. A well-located school not only helps get to school on time but also makes it easier for parents to participate in school activities with their children. Quality of the educational program A high-quality educational program is the key to unlocking a child’s full potential for comprehensive development. A well-structured curriculum that meets standards and is accredited by reputable organizations provides a solid foundation, allowing children to acquire knowledge in a systematic way. Moreover, parents may consider kindergartens that implement international curricula, enabling children to access a broad knowledge base and develop language skills from an early age. A prime example is the Oxford International Curriculum (OIC), which focuses on fostering global citizenship skills, nurturing creativity, and integrating the finest aspects of international education—equipping children with a strong foundation for the future.
