Community Project
OPEN KNOWLEDGE VIETNAM
"Zero Barriers – No Limits"
A non-profit community project aiming to localize international standard textbooks from OpenStax, provide a 100% free digital library, and reinvest resources into The Unbound Scholarship.
Why We Exist?
Higher and K-12 education in Vietnam is facing 3 major barriers, preventing learners from accessing quality knowledge.
Language Barrier
Academic English and complex terminology limit the self-study and research capabilities of the majority of students.
High Textbook Costs

Lack of Academic Libraries
The absence of an open, free, and accessible academic digital library where everyone can retrieve accurate knowledge.
