Public education at the primary and secondary level is free. In Vietnam, kids will attend primary school starting at the age of 5. Unlike Singapore, Vietnam's primary school education extends for 5 years instead of 6. The first year will be called Grade 1, and so on as each year passes (grade 1 to 5). Their school days are from Monday to Friday with classes starting around 7 and ending round 12.


Lower Secondary

Having passed primary school, children will move onto lower secondary level. Here they will study for 4 years(grade 6 to 9). Here, education is not compulsory. Also, school days are extended from Monday to Saturday.


Upper seondary/Junior College

Students now have to study from grade 10 to 12, typically finishing at the age of 18. Here, they are given a choice to take up additional language classes such as French or Japanese.


Higher Education

Students who wish to pursue higher education will now have to take a universal graduation examination. Successful completion of this examination is the general admission requirement for admission into universities, polytechnics, teacher training institutes, and colleges.
