Education and its societal effects in Vietnam

Since the rapid economic progress in Vietnam and a growing GDP, the government has invested much in nurturing human capital. In Vietnam, the education system was subject to some criticism because of the high pressure. According to a survey among young citizens in Vietnam, 69.3 percent of respondents stated that their current education and skills level will need to be constantly updated.
