One of the most worrisome / worrying problems nowadays is that whether the Department of training and education should conduct a revolution in the education system  and testing system . Should we change the national exams such as the National high school Graduation exam, the University Entrance exam, etc.? It is believed that Vietnam's Education system and testing one are so heavy and rough that it may cause students to get exhausted before they finish their studies.

The two students looked like a couple of husband and wife who were sulky with each other. The student with long hair asked: "Why did you keep me waiting for such a long time” – "I had to wait until the lesson finished,” t ... Xem thêm

The most outstanding feature of the education establishments introduced themselves as "international schools” is the intensive English teaching curricula applied there. Parents feel secure when sending their children to the schools, because they think that the British, US or New Zealand’s curricula would be better for the children than that of Vietnamese.
