The school system in Vietnam as in many other countries is strong on symbolism and weak on substance. Students who were graded “level A” in English studies when asked simple questions sometimes will stare or smile and answer in such a way that one would think the student never studied English at all. Yet the student will be happy to produce a large certificate of completion from a local public school but in reality be totally unprepared for a productive life. The public schools while long on seemingly conservative teachings (uniforms and many rules) in fact fall far short of the mark for educating the children to compete on a higher plane later in life.
The same holds true for some of the very expensive International Schools which in some cases go as far as promising and guaranteeing that upon completion of their courses, a ticket out for the students to study at an American University which in reality, these tickets out are quite rare, but the schools which are generally at capacity have no problem charging these people thousands of dollars for the sub standard courses they provide.
All this negativity of course creates a void in the educational system and a few of these International Schools are taking steps to insure the availability of a quality education, albeit for a price and the Vietnamese are becoming highly aware of the competitive nature of the new global environment and what they lack in available mainstream schools they are making up for it with extra hours spent reading, online and in local book stores and private schools. There is a lot of room for growth in this area, for sure.
