  "account": "The Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam is seeking public input on a draft decree that would grant foreign-invested education entities greater autonomy. This proposed legislation aims to expand international educational cooperation and shift management practices towards decentralisation, delegation of authority, data-driven decision-making, and post-auditing. Key changes include three approaches to preschool and primary education collaboration, increased flexibility for high school foreign education programs, and expanded cooperation opportunities for higher and vocational education institutions. The draft also introduces a new legal framework for international education cooperation and investment, with a strong emphasis on transparency, accountability, and learner rights. Pre-auditing procedures will be replaced by post-auditing and autonomous decision-making mechanisms, while maintaining oversight through information disclosure, data updating, reporting, and accountability. Remote monitoring through various sources will be employed to assess compliance levels and risk classification.",
