Vietnam has announced a multi-million dollar program aimed at luring trained Vietnamese scientists living abroad back home. The Ministry of Education and Training says it hopes to target some 300,000 Vietnamese graduates and post-graduates, living in countries like Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. It's promising "favourable working conditions" and a plan to overhaul teaching programs at Vietnamese institutions to bring them up to international standards.
