It does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations Development Programme, its Executive Board or its Member States, neither does it necessarily reflect the views of the New School, the Harvard Kennedy School or Harvard University. Beyond the Apex July 2010 Page 2 of 151 Preface This is the second of two white papers produced by The New School and the Vietnam Program at the Harvard Kennedy School‘s Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation with funding from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Vietnam. The first paper, ―The Intangibles of Excellence: Governance and the Quest for a Vietnamese Apex Research University‖ was completed in June 2009 and revised in January 2010; the key findings of this paper are included in an appendix. Both the first paper and the present study draw intellectual inspiration from a path-breaking study conducted ten years ago by the Task Force on Higher Education and Society, a blue- ribbon commission convened by the World Bank and the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and chaired by Professor Henry Rosovsky of Harvard University and Professor Mamphela Ramphele of Cape Town University. The Task Force was mandated to study the challenges associated with improving higher education in developing countries. Key findings were published in a report in 2000 entitled Peril and Promise: Higher Education in Developing Countries.1 This paper was written by Laura Chirot of The New School and Ben Wilkinson of the Harvard Kennedy School Vietnam Program. The sections on the financing of higher education and expanding access to higher education were written by Dr. Trần Thị Quế Giang of the Fulbright Economics Teaching Program. Appendices were contributed by Professor Philip Altbach of Boston College, Dr. Malcolm McPherson of the Harvard Kennedy School, and Professor Võ Tòng Xuân of An Giang University. This paper benefited from the input and feedback of many individuals inside and outside Vietnam.

DRAFT | NOT FOR CIRCULATION OR CITATION Beyond the Apex July 2010 Page 3 of 151 Executive Summary …Overall, the quality of education and training in our country lags far behind many other countries in the region and the world. This condition was recognized early on. The Party and the State have [adopted] many correct resolutions and policies that have not been implemented seriously. Several years ago, we searched restlessly for solutions, but the situation has changed slowly. Until now, differing points of view, even diametrically opposed views, have yet to be discussed in order to determine effective policy directions. Persistent weaknesses and inadequacies have had a significant impact on economic, cultural, and social development. General Võ Nguyên Giáp, VietnamNet, 2007. A broad consensus has emerged in Vietnam that higher education is in need of deep and wide-reaching reform. This consensus extends from students and their families to public intellectuals and educators to policymakers at the highest levels of government. Vietnam‘s national competitiveness increasingly depends on skilled human capital, which its higher education system is not delivering. Ever growing numbers of families are choosing to send their children abroad for undergraduate and even high school education in order for them to acquire the skills and credentials needed to succeed in the global economy. Study abroad, however, is only an option for a lucky elite of university-age students. If Vietnam is to achieve growth with equity, tap its best talent, and fulfill its economic potential, it must improve its domestic higher education system. The Vietnamese government has recognized the gravity of the situation. In 2005, the government issued Resolution 14 (14/2005/NQ-CP), which called ―fundamental and comprehensive renovation of higher education.‖ Since then, the government has released a series of policies and plans calling for reform of nearly every aspect of the system. The state has recently identified management as the core problem in higher education. In April 2009 the Politburo found that ―educational management retains many weaknesses and is the principal cause of many other weaknesses.‖2 In January 2010 the Party commission of the Ministry of Education and Training adopted a resolution on the ―renovation of higher education management‖, which concluded: ―In the time to come, in the face of rapidly rising social demand for education and the continued increase in the number of universities, it will be impossible to improve the quality of education and training without sweeping, vigorous, and path-breaking responses…‖3 In May 2010 the National Assembly completed a investigative report on ―Implementing policy and law on establishing schools, investment, and assuring quality in higher education‖,4 which exposes gaping holes in the regulatory and legal framework and provides an empirical 2 Conclusion No. 242-TB/TU, 15/4/2009. 3 Resolution No. 5-NQ/BCSD, 6/1/2010. 4 Report 329/BC-UBTVQH12, 29/5/2010. DRAFT | NOT FOR CIRCULATION OR CITATION Beyond the Apex July 2010 Page 4 of 151 foundation for the government‘s current efforts to improve management, in particular to better define responsibilities among various state agencies and universities. This is the second of two UNDP-sponsored papers on implementing higher education reform in Vietnam, both aimed at supporting the government‘s ongoing policymaking process. The first paper addressed a cornerstone goal of the government‘s reform agenda: to build an apex research university.5 It argued that Vietnam‘s current approach to creating top-tier universities has emphasized inputs such as money and infrastructure at the expense of other, intangible factors that are no less determinative of outcomes— namely, good institutional governance. Merit-based personnel systems, an ironclad commitment to academic freedom, and a high degree of autonomy in operational and academic matters are prerequisites for universities to achieve research and teaching excellence, as is demonstrated by the examples of elite universities in China and India. These principles of governance are applicable all academic institutions, but they are most critical at research universities, which link countries to global knowledge systems and strive to attract and train a nation‘s best scholars and scientists. This second paper looks beyond the apex to suggest a system-level policy framework for designing and implementing a modern, expanded, quality system of higher education in Vietnam. Our analysis is motivated by the pressing, complex questions confronting higher education policymakers today: what is the tradeoff between expanding enrollment and improving educational quality? What is the role of the market in higher education? How can universities and colleges equip students with the skills to support Vietnam‘s development? How are standards enforced in a system of nearly two million students and four hundred universities and colleges, and can decentralization help? What will drive the transition from a state controlled system of higher education to a state supervised system of autonomous institutions, as conceived by Resolution 14?6 These questions are the crux any system-level reform effort. It is often said that Vietnam has an advantage in being a late mover in its socioeconomic reforms because it is able to learn from international experience. This is certainly true in higher education. For many countries it has taken decades of concerted effort to build the diverse network of institutions needed to deliver both mass access and excellence. Higher education reform is a long process, and Vietnam needs to base its own reforms on a strong understanding of how reforms have proceeded in other countries. Policy documents have already identified many of the elements of systemic reform that 5 The Intangibles of Excellence: Governance and the Quest for a Vietnamese Apex Research University, June 2009.

Post Professor of Education (Educational Theory & Policy and Comparative & International Education) and Senior Scientist Lisa Gatzke-Kopp, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Human Development and Family Studies Professor in Charge- Graduate Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract Education plays an important role in determining individuals’ socioeconomic attainment and a nation’s competitiveness on the global stage. Thus, educational disparities not only prevent vulnerable populations from gaining access to a better life but also hinder a nation’s development. Theoretically, economic growth provides more resources for education. However, initial observations in many developing countries show that economic growth does not bring the same educational benefits to everyone. Vietnam offers an interesting context in which to study ethnic educational disparities in a developing country transforming from a centrally planned to a market-driven economy. After socioeconomic transformations, Vietnam has achieved significant progress, including economic and educational growth.

  • Issues in the Implementation of Bilingual Education in Vietnam
    TESOL Working Paper Series Issues in the Implementation of Bilingual Education in Vietnam Do-Na Chi* An Giang University, Vietnam Abstract This paper explores the implementation of bilingual education at a private institution in Vietnam, with a focus on its successes and challenges. Despite long-term English education as a compulsory subject at grade levels 3 to 12, there is still a need for Vietnamese learners of English to improve their language profciency beyond the national curriculum. For that reason, many institutions have been established to make English a more important part of the curriculum, not simply a subject but a means of communication and a medium of instruction. In other words, the aim is to make those learners reach bilingualism. However, training learners to be bilingual is not an easy mission, since it has numerous requirements. Observing how bilingual education was implemented at a private institution in Vietnam, this paper reveals some positive effects on learners’ language development along with challenges regarding teaching materials, qualifed staff, and negative infuences of the national curriculum. Introduction While English is a mandatory subject in Vietnam, the focus is still on grammar and vocabulary, not communicative competence (Denham, 1992; Nunan, 2003). To develop English language profciency of future generations of Vietnamese students, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) proposed the use of English as the medium of instruction at high school and college levels nationwide (MOET, 2008). As stated by MOET in Directive 1400, the national curriculum embarked on a project entitled “Teaching and Learning in English in the National Education System 2008-2020,” or “Project 2020” for short.
