Built by the Vietnam-Khmer Association, the Khmer-Vietnam Tan Tien friendship primary school is the largest Khmer-Vietnamese bilingual school in Cambodia. It provides kindergarten-to-fifth grade education that can enable its students to study in public schools in Cambodia and Vietnam.

The opening of the new school year was attended by Ambassador of Vietnam to Cambodia Vu Quang Minh, and representatives from the Education, Youth and Sports Department of Phnom Penh, the Khmer-Vietnam Association, among others.
