After years of working with other partners in the education field all over the world, IIG Vietnam has recognized the standpoint of other testing organizations in the world, that learning always needs assessment to go along with it. And all tools using to evaluate need to be certified and widely used to be applicable. Realizing the relevance of the assessment standard systems developed by ETS and ERB with the current learning program in middle school and high school in Vietnam in general and in HCMC in particular, IIG Vietnam has collaborated with EMG Education to integrate these assessment standards into the schools, in order to give a comprehensive but accurate and objective interpretation of the ability of students compared to students worldwide. In details, all programs being integrated within the MOU include:

–          Assessment Standards by ETS: measuring the English-proficiency of students using the international assessment tests such as TOEFL Primary, TOEFL Junior, TOEFL iBT, TOEFL ITP and other English learning tools such as EDO, CRITERION, etc.
