Vietnam’s government schools have garnered a great deal of global attention since its strong performance in both the 2012 and 2015 PISA student tests.

They are delighted to share the findings of this investigation in their new report: Promising practice: government schools in Vietnam.

“Vietnam’s PISA results have shown the world that quality and equity in education can rapidly improve; this report reveals what lies behind this success, not just in terms of the policies and practices that Vietnam has prioritised, but also by showing how these have been sequenced and successfully implemented.”
-Andreas Schleicher, Director for the Directorate of Education and Skills, OECD.
