There are two levels of education in Vietnam: Primary

Children in Vietnam go to primary school at the age of
six and move to secondary school when they are 11.
Then they spend four years in lower secondary and 3
years in upper secondary. They usually finish
secondary school at the age of 17.
Schooling is compulsory for Vietnamese children until
they finish lower secondary. It take 9 years for the
children to finish compulsory education.
The duration of the academic year is 35 weeks or 9
months. It runs from September to May and is divided
into two terms. The first term is from the beginning of
September to late December and the second term starts
in early January and ends in May.
A national examination for GCSE is usually held in
June for all students who finish high school. And then
those who pass the GCSE exam are able to sit for the
university or college entrance examination in July.
Probably, students will take only an examination for
finishing high school and for university or college.
