The​​ entire​​ education​​ system​​ in​​ Vietnam​​ is​​ now​​ facing​​ several​​ crises​​ such​​ as​​ out-of-date course​​ curricula,​​ a​​ lecturer-centered​​ method​​ of​​ teaching​​ and​​ learning,​​ research​​ activities separated​​ from​​ teaching​​ activities,​​ a​​ big​​ gap​​ between​​ theory​​ and​​ practice​​ that​​ leads​​ to​​ a​​ large number​​ of​​ graduates​​ being​​ unable​​ to​​ find​​ a​​ job,​​ and​​ the​​ fact​​ that​​ degrees​​ from​​ Vietnamese universities​​ are​​ not​​ recognized​​ worldwide.​​ There​​ is,​​ therefore,​​ a​​ huge​​ demand​​ for​​ quality educational​​ services.

Teaching​​ methods​​ delivered​​ in​​ the​​ public​​ school​​ system​​ are​​ very​​ teacher-​​ oriented.​​ You​​ will​​ find​​ that​​ the​​ students​​ are​​ quite​​ studious​​ and​​ very​​ disciplined​​ in​​ the​​ classroom.​​ The​​ more successful​​ students are​​ those who can absorb the​​ given​​ material​​ and​​ transfer​​ the​​ knowledge​​ to their​​ notebooks​​ as​​ in​​ class​​ debate​​ is​​ not​​ entirely​​ welcome​​ in​​ every​​ class.​​ This​​ is​​ a​​ sharp contrast​​ to​​ western​​ classroom​​ settings​​ where​​ participation​​ and​​ challenging​​ of​​ materials​​ has​​ a​​ greater focus.

Students​​ are​​ arranged​​ by​​ class​​ number​​ and​​ do​​ not​​ move​​ from​​ classroom​​ to​​ classroom between​​ classes.​​ They​​ also​​ stay​​ together​​ as​​ a​​ small​​ group​​ for​​ their​​ entire​​ elementary,​​ junior- high,​​ or​​ high-school​​ levels​​ in​​ one​​ location​​ per​​ grade.​​ The​​ teachers​​ are​​ the​​ ones​​ who​​ float from​​ classroom​​ to​​ classroom​​ making​​ it​​ difficult​​ for​​ the​​ Vietnamese​​ teacher​​ to​​ establish​​ a room​​ of​​ their​​ own.​​ This​​ is​​ where​​ western​​ students​​ develops​​ much​​ needed​​ social​​ skills,​​ whereas​​ the​​ Vietnamese​​ students​​ develop​​ a​​ stronger​​ group​​ bond.​​ The​​ end​​ result​​ though,​​ is the​​ severe​​ shyness​​ in​​ many​​ Vietnamese​​ when​​ introduced​​ to​​ a​​ new​​ group​​ of​​ people​​ and​​ the need​​ to interact.​​ It​​ becomes even​​ more apparent​​ at​​ the​​ university​​ level.
