Non profit schools on the rise
It is evident that non-profit education went through a rough start in Vietnam as non-profit institutions were widely misunderstood by the public. The term, admittedly, remains fairly unheard of until this day, even as non-profit schools have only been in Vietnam for less than 20 years and the majority of educational institutions are wholly subsidised by the state. In the late 20th century, many parents and regulators regarded non-profit education in Vietnam as “impossible and unfathomable.” Most of the confusion stems from the concept itself – many Vietnamese mistakenly thought that non-profit schools were not supposed to make any money at all, or that they operate as charity organisations.

US non-profit brings digital preservation to Hue relics
American non-profit organization CyArk is collecting imagery data of two historic buildings in central Vietnam's Hue to make future preservation work easy. The Tomb of Tu Duc, the fourth emperor of Vietnam’s Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945), and the An Dinh Palace are among buildings around the world chosen for the digital preservation program by CyArk, which was founded in 2003 in response to the increasing global threat to cultural heritage sites from human destruction, looting and encroachment, as well as natural forces such as earthquakes, fire and floods. For the Hue relics system, CyArk is applying the same method it has used to document over 200 sites around the world. It uses laser scanning and drone camera to create high resolution imagery from the ground and above and then processes and combines those images into accurate 3D surface model of the heritage sites. It also partners with Seagate, an American data storage facility, to store the data, which will also be provided to … [Read more...] about US non-profit brings digital preservation to Hue relics
