Zuni (website) refers to Zuni.vn, a free e-learning website founded by the Vietnam Internet User Community Foundation (VNIF) and VNG Corporation. It was launched on March 13, 2014, with the goal of narrowing the education quality gap between rural and urban areas in Vietnam.
Overview
Zuni.vn was launched with approximately 60,000 users, 300 video lessons, and 1,700 sample tests covering eight subjects used for the Vietnamese university entrance exam: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English, Literacy, Biography, History, and Geography. The project was founded by Le Hong Minh, the Director, CEO, and founder of VNG Corporation, and was managed by Project Director Nguyen Hoang Vinh.
History
The Zuni.vn project was initiated in 2014 by the Vietnam Internet Fund (VNIF) in partnership with VNG Corporation. The platform was designed to provide free educational resources to Vietnamese students, particularly those in underserved rural areas who lacked access to quality test preparation materials.
