Education in Vietnam

A university education may expand your mind. It will as well fatten your wallet. Data from the OECD, a club of rich nations, show that graduates can expect far better lifetime earnings than those without a degree.
The size of this premium varies. It is greatest in Ireland, which has a high GDP per chief and rising inequality. Since 2000 the unemployment rate for under-35s has swelled to 8% for those with degrees – but to additional than 20% for those without, and nearly 40% for secondary school drop-outs. The country’s wealth presently goes disproportionately to workers with letters next their names.

Last weekend, a Vietnamese representative travelled to the Philippines to supervise an exam taken by 53 short-listed Filipino candidates who are trying to get an agreement to teach English in Vietnam.
The applicants before made it through a screening and interview process administered by Filipino manpower firms Filsino, Grand, and Jopman, said Tran Thi Thuy Trang, who is working for Vietnamese company AIC tasked with coordinating the project that will cost an estimated US$480 million.
The exam was set to assess the Filipinos’ listening, reading and writing skills, according to a Tuoi Tre journalist who was in Manila with Trang at the same time as she oversaw the test on Saturday.
