Vietnam's education system can be divided into 5 categories: pre-
primary, primary, intermediate, secondary, and higher education.
Public kindergartens usually admit children from the age of 8
months to 5 years. Children at 4 or 5 years of age are sometimes
taught the alphabet and basic math. This level of education is only
popular in major cities.

Children normally start their primary education at the age of six.
Education at this level lasts 5 years and it is compulsory for all
children. This compulsory education may be one of the reasons why,
despite remaining a less developed country, the literate proportion of
the country's population is very high, over 90% on average.
Middle schools teach students from grade 6 to 9. This educational
level is generalized throughout most of the country - except in very
remote provinces, which expect to popularize and standardize middle
education fully within the next few years. Intermediate is a non-
compulsory schooling form in Vietnam.
Secondary education, which consists of grades 0, and , is
standardized in all major urban regions, but is not in rural provinces.
After 3 high school terms, all students must attend a graduation test.

English), Mathematics and Literature. The Vietnamese government
