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

From reasons which are mentioned above, as a result, the quality of current workforce has been affected. According to the General Statistics Office GSO, in 2009, the number of trained laborers just amounted to less than 1/5 of the total labor force, and only 17.6 percent of laborers aged 15 and higher went through technical training courses. Or the US Ambassador to Vietnam - Michael Michalak commented on an article in 2008: Universities were not able to produce the number of educated managers and skilled workers needed by Vietnam's modernizing economy, which is a failure in Vietnam's educational system. Lack of qualified human resources is the single biggest factor limiting Vietnam's future development and economic growth. In short, the derogation of quality in education and training is big issue which needs to care and solve now.
The second problem is the corruption in Vietnamese education which can be seen as a danger for social moral. In overview, the average annual salary of teacher in Vietnam is approximately 19.2 million dong which can be seen as rather low when comparing with 14 other countries in the Asia Region (from: Vietnam: education financing, World Bank). The low income likes a catalytic factor for the disease spreading corruption. According the study of Dennis C. McCornac, associate professor of economics at Anne Arundel Community College, corruption in Vietnamese
Also, if the government was to share with the public the information about the corruption and the punishments handed down for all this will make them way more aware and make them conscious of what’s going on. (Corruption in Vietnam pg.2)

The Vietnam War was one of the most controversial wars the United States has been involved in. While some individuals supported the war effort, many individuals began protesting the war as early as February of 1965 (History.com Staff, 2010). Despite this controversy, the amount of wounded soldiers and causalities, as well as the brutality and adversity experienced by the military personnel objectively describes the nature of the United States’ involvement in this war. Most military personnel who experienced combat were subjected multiple traumatic events (i.e., ambushes, booby traps, a harsh climate, relentless enemy, limited sleep, and unclear objectives; Alpha History, 2016). As such, the remainder of this paper will address background information about Vietnam veterans, common Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) screening measures, common PTSD-related symptoms in the Vietnam population, and PTSD-related treatments for the Vietnam veteran population.
The conquest of Vietnam began in 1858 and ended in 1884. Vietnam was part of Indochina in 1887 but gained their independence after World War II. France continued to rule it until 1954 when it was defeated by communist forces under Ho Chi MINH. From that point forward under the Geneva Accords, they were divided into the communist north, and the anti-communist south. US aid grew in the south in the 1960’s to try and boost the government, but they were pulled out following a cease-fire agreement in 1973. Two years later the North Vietnamese forces took over, reuniting the country under communist rule (CIA, 2014).
the lowest levels of education have the highest rates of unemployment. So a stronger appliance of the educational system can steer society towards positive growth, centered around a successfully working unit that can produce better workers and create greater welfare. On the other hand, these workers will also create a more productive society that will eventually cause GDP per capita levels to increase, as well as economic expansion and the international status of the country in general. Education can very well create highly skilled workers, but that doesn’t eliminate the fact that the quantity of working positions
Vietnam’s population is very small compared to the United States population. Vietnam’s population consist of approximately ninety point seven million people compared to United States three hundred eighteen point nine million. Vietnam use to be a very poor country but they have changed there economy from a centrally planned to a market one and as a result have transformed the country into a lower middle income one. Vietnam’s GDP from two thousand fourteen was one hundred eighty six point two billion in United States dollars. The poverty headcount is seventeen point two percent in two thousand fourteen compared to two thousand and ten when it was twenty point seven percent; so the poverty in Vietnam is definitely getting better as the years go on. From my time in

Vietnam as a whole faced many troubles. Such as the North Vietnam aiding rebels who opposed to the government of South Vietnam; which fought the rebels with U.S. aid and advisory personnel. The number of U.S. forces in South Vietnam had reached more than 543,000 troops. Vietnamese nationalist and Communist, and his Vietminh (Revolutionary League for the Independence of Vietnam) declared Vietnam to be independent. But France was determined to reclaim its former colonial possessions in Indochina. In 1946, war broke out between France and the Vietminh. It finally ended in 1954, following the conquest of the French garrison of Dien Bien Phu by Viet Minh forces in May. In July, the two sides signed peace agreements in Geneva,

The following paper is oriented to explore why the divergence of a similarly sustained economic development of the Dominican Republic (D.R.) and Haiti. The fact that both countries share the same territory, but their economic development in recent days differ from one another make this topic is highly important, since it can bring deeper insight about the different causes that can affect the economic development of a country. First, we will take a look at economic development or economic growth. Then, we will observe how education or the lack of such might affect such growth. Education as a factor will be evaluated as a possible cause for the differences in economic development between the two nations. It is important to point out the existence of other factors that might affect economic development, but many literatures have suggested that the aforementioned factor is one of much importance. It is also important to mention that, the research method to be used in this paper will consist of empirical background research, and would be done through comparison, analysis, and evaluation of information collected from the work presented by previous authors, and important sources such as The World Bank. As anticipated results a correlation between education and economic development is expected, and such finding would prove that education is a factor that influence economic growth.

America, one of the most humane countries, accepted Vietnamese refugees to live and work legally in their country. They-the Vietnamese
