Through this signing ceremony, the founding members of the Executive Board and Steering Committee also hope that the School Psychology industry in Vietnam will have a solid foundation and be taught formally and systematically according to national and international standards.

This is the first project to develop a sub-discipline of Psychology in Vietnam with the participation of many domestic and international universities and research institutes in its construction and implementation.

At the signing ceremony, the US Ambassador to Vietnam as well as delegates representing key units highly appreciated the role and position of the School Psychology industry in contributing to education and orientation for the future generations of Vietnam in particular and all of humanity in general. Therefore, the signing ceremony and the strong development of the School Psychology industry in Vietnam are very necessary and important in the future development roadmap.
