OVERVIEW

Education is a very important priority for the Vietnamese government. The country has a literacy rate of over 90 per cent, and teachers are among the most well-respected members of society. Education in Vietnam is a state-run system of public and private education run by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET). It is divided into five levels: preschool, primary school, secondary school, high school, and higher education.

Formal education consists of twelve years of basic education. The majority of basic education students are enrolled on a daily basis. The main goals are general knowledge improvement, human resources training and talent development.

There are two main types of school in Vietnam

Public (state) schools: They are open to all. Children are given a full immersion in Vietnamese culture and language, with moral studies an important fixture on the timetable. Public schools in Vietnam’s big cities and urban centres can be very good, but they are often under-resourced and underfunded in rural areas.

International schools: Vietnam’s first international school opened 30 years ago – and since then, the number in the country has skyrocketed. These fee-paying schools offer high-quality, western-style teaching, fantastic facilities and internationally recognised curricula.

There are more than 15,000 elementary schools, 10,000 lower secondary schools and 2,000 upper secondary schools located in Vietnam. The country is also home to over 70 international schools located in Vietnam. The majority of international schools in Vietnam can be found in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hoi An and Da Nang.

The structure of the education system

Lower Secondary school

Preschool and kindergarten

Upper Secondary school

Preschool and kindergarten

(Vietnamese: trung học phổ thông)The latter three years (15 - 18) until completion in the twelfth grade. There is an entrance and leaving examination (National High School Examination test). Students have to choose either natural or social sciences as a focus.

(Vietnamese: trung học cơ sở) It includes sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grade. Students had to pass the Intermediate Graduation Examination (IGE) to graduate. The IGE comprises Math, Literature, and Foreign Language tests.

This period usually lasts from the ages 3 - 6, with the last years focusing more on educational topics like starting to learn the alphabet.

The five years (6 - 11) of primary school are the only compulsory years Vietnamese children have to attend. Less than five percent of the population has never been to school.

School academic year

In Vietnam, a school year is divided into two semesters: the first begins in mid or late in August (although the admission day or opening ceremony is 5th September) and lasts until the end of December, while the second begins right after the first, which is about mid-January and ends in May. The school week in Vietnam is six days, beginning on Monday and ending on Saturday.

School subjects

The curriculum for primary schools includes typical subjects such as Vietnamese language, math, nature and society, arts and physical education. In higher classes, and in secondary education, a foreign language (usually English, but sometimes Chinese, French, Russian… in High Schools for the Gifted), history, natural sciences, technology, music and geography are added.

School Uniforms

Most schools in Vietnam requires uniform, and the rules on uniform vary from schools and areas. The most common type of uniform consists of a white shirt with school logo on left sleeve and navy/black trousers, with a red scarf for students from grade 3 to grade 9. This kind of uniform is often seen in public schools in North Vietnam or in rural areas, and there is no differences between boy's and girl's uniforms.

However, many schools (private or famous public schools) have their own designed uniforms, which often replace trousers with skirts for girls or include bows, ties or vests/blazers.

Vietnam education problems

The education system in Vietnam still faces spatial and gender inequalities. Access to quality education especially at lower secondary levels is limited in remote areas. Female students and ethnic minorities also face problems accessing education and finishing school.

In addition, only five years of primary school are compulsory, causing students from lower income families to opt for the workforce instead. Cost of supplies, such as books or school uniforms, also cannot be afforded by families living in rural areas.
