Bilingual school in Vietnam

Five-year-old Ngoc goes to a bilingual school in the Vietnamese countryside. Ngoc is part of the Khmer minority group and follows classes in both her own language, Khmer, and Vietnamese. Teacher Trang explains that children who learn in their own language develop more self-confidence and achieve better learning outcomes. In addition, children come to school more often because parents feel more involved in school life since the introduction of bilingual education.
