Compelling questions for young Vietnamese

1. On education

This was the note that I took in a class-discussion session (sinh hoạt lớp) in 10th grade at my high school. This was what my head teacher (giáo viên chủ nhiệm) talked about among many things he talked in the usual sessions. Back then, I had a habit of writing down things that were the most appealing to me during these sessions.

My head teacher was a gymnastic teacher (not a usual thing back then – being a gymnastic teacher and a head teacher of a leading class in a high school).

In comparison, constitutional deliberations in Vietnam appear open, vibrant and far-reaching — prompting some commentators to speculate on whether Vietnam is a model for post-socialist institutional reform.

RENEW Deminer Dies From Injuries After Cluster Bomb Accident

Thursday, 19 May 2016

This is the moment that I have feared for 15 years, since Project RENEW was launched in 2001.

Yesterday Ngo Thien Khiet was killed by a cluster munition at a field site in Quang Tri Province, near the former DMZ.  The 45-year-old deminer, a senior technician with eight years’ experience, was directing his team members in an area where several cluster bombs had been found and marked for destruction.

Some Days I Lived, Other Days I Died. Resilience in the face of exploitation

Charimaya Tamang knows all too well how easy it is to be trafficked in Nepal.

That’s because 22 years ago, it happened to her. At 16, Charimaya was alone cutting grass in the forest when she was ambushed by four men. After being drugged and losing consciousness, she awoke in Gorakhpur, near the Nepali/India border with her appearance completely changed — she had on makeup, a new hairstyle and different clothes.

Creative Tech Labs Give Jolt to ‘Zombies’ in Vietnam Schools

When U.S. diplomats made a trip to Danang last year, Vietnamese students presented the visitors with a small replica of the White House, which they had just created using a 3D printer.

At Fablab Saigon, students learn about sensors and micro-controllers so they can tinker with potential products that are part of the internet of things.At Fablab Saigon, students learn about sensors and micro-controllers so they can tinker with potential products that are part of the internet of things.

That and other machines were made available at Fablab Danang, part of a global network of open laboratories that let people fabricate products and inventions that might otherwise be impossible for someone working alone. Fablab is also part of a growing movement in Vietnam, which relies on technology and practical training to get young people excited about finding a career.

A Rebalanced transatlantic policy toward the asia-pacific region

A Rebalanced transatlantic policy toward the asia-pacific region

Heather A. Conley,  James Mina, and Phuong Nguyen

The United States and the European Union share similar interests and objectives in the Asia Pacific. Yet despite these shared goals, both powers have pursued independent – and at times competitive – policies in the region, which have on occasion hindered the realization of mutual strategic interests. As the United States and European Union deepen their engagement with the region and with key decisions looming on the horizon (notably regarding granting China market economy status and the Arbitral Tribunal’s ruling on territorial claims in the South China Sea), how can the transatlantic relationship be used more effectively to accelerate the region’s economic development, ensure the application of robust economic standards, strengthen the region’s institutional architecture, and uphold international legal principles?

5 ways public-private partnerships can promote gender equality

blog.worldbank – From my corner of the World Bank, the development objective of promoting gender equality can seem vague or unrelated to what we do. We can give three cheers for our colleagues who focus on gender issues for successfully developing and releasing  the World Bank’s new Gender Equality, Poverty Reduction and Inclusive Growth Strategy — and then return to our work of closing the infrastructure financing gap and helping governments prioritize their infrastructure projects.
