How we can ensure output, ensure employment conditions for workers. Supporting and service of learners is a condition for our negotiation and work. Mr. Chay Yee: Thank you Mr. Son and the teachers. I have been to Vietnam 20 years ago but have not got results since maybe it is not the right time. This is my first visit to Dong Nai and the university. I find the Principal and the teachers here very young and dynamic. I am delighted that Coleman, after 29 years of development and experience, hopes to give you the tools and confidence to work together. Singapore is not large so our school is not as wide as you, but we have all the necessary conditions for the two sides to work together. I totally agree with Master Son for the purpose of serving.

Mr. Chay Yee - Chairman of the Board of Coleman School - Singapore is exchanging Dr. Phan Ngoc Son: In my point: what brings practical benefits for learners, for students, we do, whether how difficult it is. If you are determined, nothing is impossible. As I mentioned to students: if due to the financial difficulties that have to drop out of school, not dare to self-reliance, ignoring the opportunity to going to be poor forever is a crime. If this is the motivation, the opportunity, you must fulfill, do not hesitate. Act aggressively, that is the message. Mr. Chay Yee: I think our thinking and policy are the same. All for learning environment, knowledge, English and skills. We will have many co-operations and start from the smallest things. Dr. Phan Ngoc Son (laughs) I just came up with the thought: Is it possible? How to do it? We will sign the agreements but then sign them, we do it or not. I have a multi-level learning system, our students study too much, not many facilities and especially the summer courses are not in suitable conditions. What will we start from?  Mr. Chee Yee: Coleman has a variety of programs that are suit with each type of universities and colleges. My wife is also running a small school. In my experience, we first need to exchange information, have a strategy and then going to plan in detail and have time to complete. Moreover, must have a supervisor to ensure the best effect. During the deployment, we can discuss. I pledge that if we cooperate, I will be the most active member. Dr. Phan Ngoc Son: I am thinking: why some universities and colleges that are far away from here, we can cooperate, but in Singapore where is not far, we cannot do. I think there must be a plan right now. Said to do. The documents I sign in the school must be understood as ordinance, must be done, work immediately. I suggest that after this meeting, Coleman's Department of International Relations and Marketing would discuss the details and report the results. I will also take all the Board of Supervisors to visit Coleman recently to tackle more specific issues, to bring about better co-operation. Mr. Chay Yee: (Very excited) If you and the Board of Managers of the school system are able to visit our school, we are extremely excited. We will welcome the delegation with the most thoughtful spirit.
