Education is very important for the lives of Vietnamese children, especially Ethnic Minority children. Having an education means they have a better chance of getting a job when they grow up, something that most of these children don’t have at the moment.
There is a need for the construction of over 2,000 classrooms in Binh Phuoc Province over the next ten years. This includes classrooms at Ethnic Minority Primary and High Schools.
Vocational Training Programs are very limited in Vietnam and Minority children have very little access to this type of education. In 2006, COCOA finished the construction of the first Mushroom Growing Laboratory at the Dong Xoai Township Ethnic Minority High School in Binh Phuoc Province.
This is the first such structure of its kind in the Province and its completion has been welcomed by Minority leaders and families.

An Phu Village is a relocation Village for 105 Xtieng Minority families in Binh Long District.
The nearest Primary School is a small Primary School two Km from the Village.
This school only educates children at a higher level.
Two classrooms were completed early in 2008 on an area of land in An Phu Village. A further two classrooms are needed to cater for all the children in the Village. The School will educate children from Prep School age to Primary level.
