Analyzing the Effects of Educational Structures and Opportunities of Vietnam on the Greater Society
Abstract: Education attainment is the highest level of formal education a person achieves within a given society. With education there are more opportunities, including a better standard of living. Vietnam is a developing country that sees the benefits of higher education, but due to structural problems, students and administration are dealt with many pressures to overcome. This paper uses structural theories of Weber and Parsons to analyze the current situations in Vietnam. By using public publications and personal interviews, inferences are made about the future development of the country.

In 2008, the government spent 5.8 percent of the GDP on education within the public sector (Central Agency of Intelligence 2011), which is significant comparatively to the US which only utilizes 5.7 percent (in 2007) (Central Agency of Intelligence 2011); this verifies the urgency of current education issues. With Vietnam being a country with a large youth population, having proper education has much to do with building the future of the nation. This paper discusses issues that have been acknowledged as problematic for students seeking higher education and for individuals working within the education field. The following questions will be examined in this paper: Why has the education field been so inefficient over the past century? How does this effect students and current citizens within Vietnam? What are proposed solutions to institutional problems?
First, to gain better insight, Vietnam’s education system is discussed first as an institution. The effects of the current format on potential students and Vietnam are briefly discussed using theories presented by Parsons. It is also relevant to examine the life chances of particular student situations in Vietnam; this is achieved using Weber’s theories. The feasibility of proposed solutions will be evaluated throughout appropriate sections. Information represented in this paper reflects data attained from
Education as a whole has been the key to the future and provides to the students with skill that they could not get anywhere. The new age has clearly shown us that education is a vital ingredient for a person’s future. Education has shown that one who studies further has a better lifestyle and will be highly respected, but what education cannot do is offer everyone the opportunity to succeed. Only a few students can take advantage of education; because if suddenly
America used to thrive on its education system and that is why it became one of the greatest nations in the world. Education is the backbone of our country, and we must give high priority to improve its current condition. Unfortunately, in the past couple of decades, the education system has been regressing. It has been on the decline and not as effective. The quality of education in a country has an influence on GDP growth, social cohesion and social well being in general. In order to improve the quality of education in the U.S., the following must be taken into consideration: the structure of our education system must be reanalyzed, we must compare and contrast our education system to systems of other countries with higher rankings, and finally, there must be a solution.
The Vietnam 1 Running head: SOCIAL EFFECTS OF THE VIETNAM WAR The Vietnam War's Effects on American Society Halley E. Moore Metro High School- St. Louis The Vietnam 2 Abstract The Vietnam War had a profound effect on American society. It changed the way we viewed our government, the media, and our Constitutional rights. Because of this shift in perspective, the country was torn apart and yet still came together in new and different ways.
The education system in America has a long history of struggle and change, as we have grown as a nation we have experienced an ever-increasing rise in diversity. This diversity has caused rigidities between groups and all stratus of society and has been a major impact in debates concerning the educational opportunities in America.
The American Education System is not meeting the needs of current students. If anything, the system is not building a sturdy foundation for the future working class. Schools have existed for many years and every period they have worked differently. However, every school’s main purpose was to educate students to be efficacious later in life. Modern day schools are corrupting students with added pressure, standardized tests, making less accommodations for special education students, not following laws, and take away individualism from the students’. The students of modern times are the people of our future and the future does not look too bright with the current American Education System.
Higher education has a vast history; beginning in the early colonial period and spanning ten generations. With its wide range of history, aspects of higher education have changed as the ideals and reforms of society adjusted. Albeit, the missions and purposes of college have remained the same. In this paper, I will clarify the three main missions and purposes of higher education. Then, I will shift the focus of the paper to the area I would like to pursue in higher education and how it reflects those purposes.
The strongest claim the author made was that the economy and education are highly intertwined. It is stated that without a public access to a higher level of education, the income equality will grow larger and our country of democracy and prosperity will be in jeopardy. The
The impact of the Vietnam War upon the soldiers who fought there was huge. The experience forever changed how they would think and act for the rest of their lives. One of the main reasons for this was there was little to no understanding by the soldiers as to why they were fighting this war. They felt they were killing innocent people, farmers, poor hard working people, women, and children were among their victims. Many of the returning soldiers could not fall back in to their old life styles. First they felt guilt for surviving many of their brothers in arms. Second they were haunted by the atrocities of war. Some soldiers could not go back to the mental state of peacetime. Then there were soldiers Tim O’Brien meant while in
As globalization continues to increase in today’s world, so is competition in the job market amongst students. With students in the US producing inferior results, many of these jobs are out of reach and difficult to get due to foreign competition. Ultimately, in order for students to be successful, the US must reconstruct its public education system.
The education system is an organized, purposeful structure consists of laws, policies, and regulations to regulate the education in schools and colleges in a systematic way. The education system plays a vital role in the development of the student life career and which simultaneously affects the development of the country. Every country has their own education system depending on the government. In the same way, there are lots of contrast in the education system between the US and Nepal, but the main distinctions are flexibility, technology, teaching style of the professors and education policies of the country.
In this paragraph , I will compare Vietnam education to Singapore education and the main question I’d ask how is Vietnam education different to Singapore ? As you can see , Singapore is a development country , so in this country , children can go to school when they were 3 year-old and the fee is free and when they get older they just need some dollars for the school fee . Because of that , the students in their country have a good qualification
Education plays an important role with each country, especially with the economic development, which is the same in Vietnam. After two wars of aggression, the Vietnamese economy was affected seriously so the Provisional Government of Vietnam identified that at this time, the development of education is the first priority. In a country, if the rate of educated person is high, it means the indicators of economic development will also go up. The high quality workforce who is better skilled and trained in an accurate education will be a motivation for future growth. According the statistic data of
