Mexico City (VNA) – A delegation from the Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico led by Ambassador Nguyen Van Hai visited Emiliano Zapata University and the Cendi preschool education system in Monterrey city, northern Nuevo Leon state, on June 26 as part of activities marking the 50th anniversary of Vietnam-Mexico diplomatic relations.
These two educational institutions, established by Mexico’s Labour Party (PT), are among key models for higher and early childhood education in Mexico.
During the visit, the Vietnamese delegation met with the two institutions’ managers, toured their facilities, and presented gifts to lecturers and staff there.
Speaking at Emiliano Zapata University, Hai gave an overview of Vietnam’s education system and emphasised the similarities in educational philosophies of Vietnam and Mexico. He noted the common vision rooted in the humanistic principles of President Ho Chi Minh’s “Education for the complete human being” and Mexico’s “Ser culto para ser libre” (“Be cultured to be free”). Both nations regard education as the cornerstone for freedom, independence, and social progress.
