On September 21, the launching ceremony of the Vietnam Network of School Psychologists (VNSP) and the signing ceremony of a strategic cooperation agreement between VNSP and Anbooks on developing a community of Vietnamese School Psychology experts were held in Hanoi.
VNSP is a unit under the Vietnam Association of Educational Psychology, with the mission of connecting, mobilizing resources, developing capacity and promoting school psychology practices to promptly and better serve the psychological support needs of students and the community.
At the launch, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Phu, Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Association of Psychology and Education, said: “The issue of school psychology is posing many challenges to Vietnam's current education system. From 2018 to now, school psychology activities have mainly developed in non-public models and education systems with foreign elements. The development of school psychology in public school models is still limited, the operation is not really effective as well as meeting the needs of students and parents".
According to the members of the Executive Board of the Vietnam School Psychology Network, the school psychology activities of the Network will not only be limited to students, but also reach parents, teachers, and schools. In addition to intervention, support, and school psychology consultation activities, the Vietnam School Psychology Network will strive to promote training activities, share professional knowledge, conduct scientific research, and connect with psychology experts in different regions of the country and internationally so that the network can operate effectively and spread its meaning to the community.
Accordingly, Anbooks is the unit that develops the Network's expert value chain through activities such as "packaging" expert knowledge, realizing knowledge into sales documents (books, handbooks, training courses, E-learning lectures, etc.), and implementing communication programs to the community.
As a companion of the school psychology industry in Vietnam for over 7 years with the publication of the School Psychology Handbook (2018); Co-organizing the 6th International School Psychology Conference (2018), Anbooks is honored to become a strategic companion of the Vietnam School Psychologists Network in building a community of Vietnamese school psychology experts.
The ceremony also had the participation of Mr. Le Nghiem - Former Director of the Department of Foreign Information - Ministry of Information and Communications, Vice President of the Digital Communications Association; school psychology practice experts, Anbooks' partners in other fields of education, technology, communications, and publishing.
