Many parents in Vietnam are choosing online extra classes for their children amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

The 2017-2018 academic year has just finished and it’s time for Vietnamese parents to show off their children’s learning achievements by posting credits on social networks. 

VietNamNet Bridge - Educators have expressed deep concern about children’s books with nonsensical content which are sold at many shops in the country.

VietNamNet Bridge - The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has asked high schools to continue the teaching schedule until May 31, but teachers and students say they need more time to prepare for upcoming high school exams.

Poor farmers, who have been miserable because of the losses in rice and livestock farming, now have to borrow money to pay children’s school fees.

Educators have all agreed that it’s necessary to rewrite the history textbooks which are too academic and boring for students. However, it’s still unclear who will write the new set of textbooks and what standards to follow when compiling the books.

Vietnamese parents now hurriedly prepare their children for first grade by forcing them to practice reading and writing in advance.
