Education system

Today, the State of Vietnam considers education a top priority in the national policy. After the country’s reunification, a complete education system was formed.

Since 1986, with the reform policy, education has been socialized with different sources of investment. Teaching and training methods are diversified. School management is democratized while content, method and facilities are modernized. At present, a complete, unified educational system has been established throughout the country encompassing all education levels, skill training methods and school types.

In November 1998, the 10th Legislature adopted the Education Law to develop education, raise people’s educational level and train human resources, and nurture talents for the cause of national industrialization and modernization. It is clearly stated in the Education Law that every citizen has equal opportunities for education. The State favors and facilitates children of ethnic minorities, children from especially difficult families, and the handicapped or those under other preferential policies to go to school.

Certificate: Certificates are granted at the end of each schooling phase including primary, junior and senior secondary school and vocational training. There is also a college diploma, a bachelor, a master and a PhD degree.
