Letters / Upon returning to Vietnam - Motivation Letter For SI scholarship [2]

Motivation Letter

Context: I am applying for a master degree in Education/Educational Theories in Sweden. The scholarship asks me to write a motivation letter and there are only 1000 characters, space included. Here are all the ideas that I have drafted. I am not sure if it is specific enough, and it has to be very strong and concise.

Describe how you can apply the knowledge and experience you will gain from your time in Sweden in your organization/company and/or in your home country/region (max 1000 characters, space included)

Upon returning to Vietnam, I will actively share the educational practices I have gained in Sweden with my colleagues to tackle students' ongoing issues: lack of motivation, excessive parent involvement, and low self-esteem. This will help enhance our institution's teaching quality, ultimately improving student retention rates.

Concurrently, I will continue teaching English, based on the newly-acquired theories, on my YouTube channel. Started in 2020, the channel has reached over 5,000 views. The networks from SI alumni will allow me to reach out to more students. With free access, they can acquire English skills, laying a solid foundation on their future careers.

Long term, I aim to become an educational reformer. I will collaborate across disciplines to foster healthy learning environments for Vietnamese students. The experience from Sweden will positively impact my personalized learning methods, helping me address educational inequalities, bullying and students' mental well-being. This helps maximize students' learning outcomes and ensure them decent jobs, thus growing Vietnam's economy.

what you'll gain from scholarship in sweden

Describe how you can apply the knowledge and experience you will gain from your time in Sweden in your organisation/company and/or in your home country/region (max 1000 characters, space included)

The scholarship focuses on: Sustainable development goals (High quality education, no poverty, zero hunger, decent jobs ...)
My long term goal is to become an educational reformer and work collaboratively across disciplines to foster healthy learning environments for Vietnamese students. My work with students will allow me to enhance their abilities to succeed internationally, to score higher on university entrance exams/standardized tests, and generally improve their quality of life (poverty, hunger, and employment opportunities.)

My time in Sweden will positively impact my Personalized Learning Methods in my teaching, helping to address problems students face in Vietnam, such as inequalities in education, bullying, and mental health issues. Improving students' education results in broader implications affecting the quality of life in Vietnam, including its economy, public health, and the arts. Additionally, in this time of fractured international relations, having foreign students who are expertly trained in English, can only enhance possibilities for improved relationships between different countries.
