As reported at the meeting, An Giang province currently has Buddhist Intermediate School and Hoa Hao Buddhist College.
Over the past time, the provincial Committee for Religious Affairs has implemented guidelines of the GCRA for teaching two subjects of law and history, and handed over the textbook of the two subjects to the two religious training institutions and several religious organizations in the province.
The provincial religious committee also asked An Giang University to support the teaching of these two subjects in these two schools.
Up to now, the Buddhist Intermediate School has started the teaching of the Vietnamese history subject. Works related to the preparation of the teaching program, textbooks, exam questions, exam scores, etc. are all implemented in accordance with the state laws.
For Hoa Hao Buddhist College, it is expected to enroll the first course by the end of 2021.
