The Embassy of Germany awarded the German language certificate (DSD I) to 63 students of Foreign Language Specialized School and Viet Duc High School in Hanoi on August 29. 

The certificate is an important condition for students if they want to apply for a university course in Germany.

The Head of the Culture and Press Department of the German Embassy in Hanoi, Jonas Koll, said that behind the certificate is a German language programme in high schools across the globe, which provides students not only German language but also the philosophy and workmanship of German people.

Under the "Schools: Partners for the Future" (PASCH) initiative supported by Germany’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the number of high schools permitted for German language learning and exams has exceeded 1,000 worldwide.

In Vietnam, a network of 17, PASCH partner schools has been established since 2007, teaching German as a foreign language. Germany courses are all free.

Since 2008, the Foreign Language Specialized School and Viet Duc (Vietnam-Germany) High School have organized exams of German certificates.

From late 2013, with DSD I, students will be granted a visa to attend a pre-departure course in Germany before enrolling at a university.
