Brighton College to Open Campuses in Vietnam

I In good news for Vietnamese students, UK Brighton College will establish an international school system in their country. The deal is part of an agreement with Vingroup, a Vietnamese education system operator that runs 39 campuses across the country. Vingroup is a big player in the Vietnam education system, educating some 36,000 students. Its university – VinUni – has trained some 500 students from 11 countries.

Commenting on the venture, Graeme Owton, executive director of Brighton College International Schools said, “Brighton College and Vingroup share the same vision to bring a remarkable start to the lives of thousands of Vietnamese students in the 21st century.”

As part of the plan, Brighton College Vietnam aims to start seven campuses across the Southeast Asian country, with the first expected to be built at Vinhomes Ocean Park, Hanoi.

The first Brighton College Vietnam International School, in the country’s capital, will follow the British education system, teaching students from grades 1 to 13 from August 2023.

While the Brighton college will set-up the campuses, Vingroup will invest in infrastructure, enrollment, and providing administrative support. Speaking to the press, Vingroup’s Phan Ha Thuy said, “The cooperation with Brighton College will allow Vingroup to “contribute to bringing the world’s top quality education to Vietnam and create favourable conditions for education. Families wishing to have access to an education do not have to send their children to study abroad before they reach adulthood.”

As part of the “comprehensive” cooperation agreement, Brighton will recruit key positions and teachers, and consult on the curriculum design that is in line with British teaching standards.
