Hanoi, Vietnam
Uppingham School Hung Yen recently participated in the International Conference on Educational Cooperation in the Digital Era and Education & EdTech Exhibition (IECEE 2026). Organised by the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam, the high-profile event brought together global leaders, policymakers, and educational innovators to discuss the future of international learning and cooperation.
During the conference, school leadership engaged in high-level discussions with key UK government officials, including Baroness Smith of Malvern, UK Minister of State for Skills; Professor Sir Steve Smith, UK Government International Education Champion; and His Excellency Iain Frew, British Ambassador to Vietnam.
