III. COMPARING THE EDUCATIONAL
BETWEEN AMERICA AND VIETNAM

The similarities

Both countries want to give their
students the best education. To
accomplish best education practices
both countries provide more
computers and projectors in every
class.

- Regarding the education system, the primary
level of both is 5 years.
- An undergraduate degree is 4 years and a
master's degree is 2 years

Public and private , even the military has
all boys and all girls, from there it will be
divided into Boarding School or Day
School

The
differences

Over time, education in America has come
to represent universal free public
education for all, regardless of race, social
background, or gender. Education,
moreover, is seen as the primary means to
succeed in a society that seeks to replace
the claims of inherited privilege for those
of individual freedom and equal
opportunity.
