Education in Vietnam is the term for Vietnam's education under the Socialist Republic of Vietnam regime (from 1976 until now). This education is a continuation of the education of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and inherits part of the legacy of the education of the Republic of Vietnam. When the South and the North were united in 1976, the education model in the North approached the education system established in the South; In particular, the 10-year elementary and secondary school curriculum in the North must match the 12-year curriculum in the South. These two systems are parallel; The North continues the 10-year system and the South holds the 12-year system from 1976 to 1981, the 12-year system is applied nationwide. [1] After reunification, the Vietnamese government dissolved all private educational institutions that had operated in South Vietnam under the Republic of Vietnam regime. Private education was only allowed to operate again during the Renovation period.
