People can register through the website as well as the link of the Organizing Committee publicly on social networks and mass media. We will classify subjects to arrange the most suitable study schedule (morning or evening).

Mr. Ho Van Mung - Chairman of An Giang Provincial People's Committee - affirmed the strategic importance of the Project for the world-reaching progress of Pearl Island and emphasized that the implementation of the Project is a comprehensive strategy to solve the current shortage of human resources and facilities.
