Sunshine Village signs deal to promote Finnish education values in Vietnam
Education group Sunshine Village (SSV) and the Finnish Council For Creative Education (CCE) have signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement to promote the positive values of Finnish education in Vietnam.
The agreement aims to standardize the Finnish educational philosophy model in Vietnam. Currently, SSV is the only school system in Vietnam to have a comprehensive cooperation agreement with CCE.
Founder and CEO of SSV Catherine Yen Pham said it took SSV years to negotiate and convince CCE by improving and standardizing educational quality on the basis of Finnish curricula in SSV’s kindergartens before signing the agreement.
The two sides are committed to the mission of developing preschool education and bringing the positive human values of Finnish education to Vietnam.
CCE and SSV will cooperate comprehensively in various fields and promise to make breakthroughs in sustainable education in the future.

On the occasion, representatives of CCE also had a meeting with SSV and examined the quality of SSV’s infrastructure and educational programs, appreciating what SSV has done and believing in its potential for stronger development.
The Finnish education program applied by SSV is not only about learning; it also aims to train teachers the efficiency of educational governance, and ensure a healthy development environment for kids and their mental health.
Educational units that want to follow the Finnish education program, parenting program and a program for building the Finnish educational model in Vietnam can call the SSV hotline on 0868 599 139.
