Education is compulsory for children aged between six and 11 in Vietnam. Although the cost of tuition is free up until the end of primary education, families must pay for textbooks, school supplies, uniforms and any other additional costs.This means that many poorer families in rural areas cannot afford to remain in school after completion of primary education. Students attend school six days a week; Monday to Saturday.
The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) is responsible for education in Vietnam.
