The project aims to diversify the foreign language teaching outside the regular school hours, meeting the needs of human resources training for Dong Nai's socio-economic development. It also aims to form the first smart Korean education model for high school students in Dong Nai, helping Dong Nai become Vietnam's representative for Korean language education; at the same time, introducing Dong Nai's land and people in the process of development and international integration.

Under the agreement, LHU will act as a bridge to connect with Visang Vietnam Education Co., Ltd. to directly teach Korean language to learners. High school students will be taught Korean with 70% face-to-face and 30% online learning by LHU lecturers and introduced Korean teachers.
