In Vietnam, the decline in the primary-school-age population started in the 1990s and is projected to fall by 20 percent between 2000 and 2012. Clearly, this decline facilitates Vietnam’s ongoing efforts to reduce class size and increase spending per student in primary education, as well as to attain its goal of universal lower-secondary education by 2010.
Similarly, in Korea, a number of initiatives have been taken—by the government and the private sector—to promote lifelong competency building. Vietnam has also developed proactive policies designed to reach this goal. Asian countries are beginning to reap significant benefits from their sustained investment in science and technology capabilities, as seen by a pattern of economic development that increasingly draws its strength from skills, technology, knowledge, and innovation.

Vietnam has likewise launched efforts to raise the status of the teaching profession, beginning with the pay increase mentioned above, as well as through a stock-taking exercise to establish a baseline of teacher qualifications (or “profiles”) to inform the design of a strategy to strengthen pre-service and in-service training. Parallel efforts are under way to improve the effectiveness of teacher deployment, organization, and utilization, as well as to address the skill development needs of teachers and managers in areas such as computer competence and mastery of foreign languages (primarily English).
