The Japanese Government has pledged to grant US$172,000 in total to help build a primary school and provide vocational training equipment for the northern province of Phu Tho.

Under a contract signed on August 18, US$88,488 will be spent on a two-storey primary school with 10 classrooms on a 750 sq.m. compound and US$83,500 will help equip the Phu Tho Vocational College with welding machines to meet an increasing demand for workers of this job.
