Twenty-eight per cent of menus had no “sugary drinks” (should not be sold). None of the 53 menus assessed met all strategy criteria regarding the availability of foods and beverages. There was no statistically significant difference in meeting; (a) 75% minimum “everyday” items and (b) no “sugary drinks,” by socio-economic region, remoteness, school enrolments or school type. Conclusions: If public health benefits of healthy eating policies are to be realised, secondary schools need to be supported to implement such policies. So what?: Future research assessing the impact of intervention strategies to support policy implementation in secondary schools is recommended.]]> Wed 28 Sep 2022 10:30:06 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42518 Wed 24 Aug 2022 11:55:03 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13539 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:29:33 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26927 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:00:32 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22784 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:01:06 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45404 In the context of English as a global language, compulsory English language education at the primary level has become an inevitable trend in many non-English-speaking countries, including Vietnam. However, there have been concerns regarding how English language policy is realised across contextual settings, especially in rural and remote areas of Vietnam. Based on language-in-education goals, this article investigates English language policy implementation in Vietnam’s rural and remote areas from the perspective of primary English teachers from 2008 onwards. The present paper employs a desk review of existing literature, policy analysis, and semi-structured interviews. Data collected from multiple sources show the inequality of access to English language learning in the rural localities. The findings also indicate a significant gap between the current English language policy goals and implementation in the rural primary sector regarding slow execution, curriculum variations, limited teaching resources, inappropriate pedagogy, and assessment. These problems have been accelerated due to a shortage of teachers as well as inconsistency and limitations related to pre-service teacher training programs and recruitment. Identifying significant challenges of English language policy implementation in the Northwest of Vietnam helps shed light on primary English education in remote and marginalised regions. Therefore, the recommendations target policy makers, teacher educators, and stakeholders to assist primary English teachers in rural areas to improve and advance the success of primary English education in Vietnam’s remote areas and beyond the specific context to which it refers.]]> Thu 27 Oct 2022 17:15:17 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55166 Thu 18 Apr 2024 16:32:05 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2191 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:30:12 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17554 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:51 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28625 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:58 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23617 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:28 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33689 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:29:26 AEST ]]>
