The basic structure of Vietnamese education is similar to American education: pre-primary, primary, intermediate, secondary, and higher education.
As a poor country, Vietnam's public schools are dramatically under funded. The average public school teacher receives about sixty to one hundred United States dollars a month.
Sadly, the dropout rate increases after fifth grade. School is expensive--the government is not able to provide mucch money for students' supplies, and parents have to provide funds for their childrens' education.
Despite the drawbacks in Vietnam's public school system, Vietnam's average literacy rate is over ninety percent.
