The programme will address these concerns by updating Viet Nam's Secondary Education Master Plan, developing new national standards for secondary schools, upgrading the curriculum, improving the quality of secondary teachers, establishing a national accreditation board and new learning assessment system, and expanding continuing education. It will also pilot-test a conditional cash transfer programme to provide financial support to poor families in a bid to encourage them to send, and keep their children in school. Previously, only scholarships have been available to disadvantaged students and this scheme will help ensure all groups who may have missed out on secondary schooling in the past will be able to participate. More emphasis will also be given on assisting physically disabled students. The total financing costs are $71 million, with ADB providing a combined $60 million and the Government contributing $11 million. The Ministry of Education and Training is the executing agency, with the programme loan component due for completion in December 2012, and the project by June 2015.
