Students from several other East Asian countries will also attend the program.The Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange Students and Youths Program (JENESYS) will offer participants a chance to visit famous Japanese sites and enjoy home-stays with Japanese families, according to the cultural affairs office at the Japanese Embassy in Hanoi.
Four of the selected Vietnamese students will engage in a 12-month exchange while the 330 others will participate in 10-day programs.
The first batch of students was expected to begin the program in March of 2008, according to the office.
