Teaching in Vietnam allows you to\u00a0immerse yourself in\u00a0the country’s rich history and diverse culture. Plus, you can cross it off of your travel bucket list after living there for a year or more and getting to experience some of the most\u00a0stunning natural landscapes\u00a0in Southeast Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n Vietnam is a great teaching destination for both experienced and brand new teachers. There are opportunities around every corner for foreign teachers in Vietnam,\u00a0in both public and private schools.\u00a0Learning English\u00a0is an\u00a0important factor\u00a0that helps determine whether or not a family will rise above the poverty line in Vietnam, so native English speaking teachers are constantly in high demand.<\/span><\/p>\n Another perk of teaching in Vietnam is the location. Vietnam is located just south of China and is also bordered by Cambodia, Laos, and the South China Sea. Thailand is also just a short trip away if you want to explore\u00a0any surrounding countries.<\/span><\/p>\n The tropical feel of Vietnam is one of the characteristics that foreign teachers and travelers can’t wait to experience. Many aspiring world travelers go to Vietnam to visit the beautiful\u00a0mountains, beaches, and temples.<\/span><\/p>\n Teaching jobs in Vietnam<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column

Vietnam recognizes that education is a national priority, though many children in remote areas still do not have access to high-quality lower education.<\/p>\n Overall, Vietnam has high primary school completion rates, strong gender parity, low student\/teacher ratios, and a low out of school rate. The standard of schools across Vietnam varies greatly, but strides have been made in the last 20 years to increase access to education as well as increase the quality of the education received.<\/span><\/p>\n \n Job board<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.6.6″ background_image=”https:\/\/teachingnomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/scissors-and-notepads-on-desk.png” height=”203px” hover_enabled=”0″ da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” background_position=”center_right” sticky_enabled=”0″ da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_padding=”80px||80px||false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_cta title=”Curriculums used in Vietnam” button_text=”Click Here” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ header_font=”Lato|900|||||||” header_text_color=”#1d1f20″ header_font_size=”34px” header_line_height=”1.2em” body_font=”Lato||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_text_color=”#606262″ body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”1.4em” background_enable_color=”off” background_layout=”light” custom_margin=”||50px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false”]<\/p>\n The four main curriculums used in Thailand are IB, U.S.\/AP, local, and the National Curriculum for England.

Vietnam is known for its ever-evolving education system and rigorous curriculum. Plus, Vietnam has a reputation for being competitive for students at the secondary level. Vietnam’s local curriculum includes subjects such as Vietnamese language & literature, science, mathematics, nature and society, arts (music & fine arts), physical education, technology, and foreign language. The main education goal in Vietnam is to improve the population’s general knowledge, training quality human resources, and nurturing and fostering talent.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”National Curriculum for England” _builder_version=”4.5.1″]<\/p>\n The National Curriculum for England is the set of standards used to through England & Wales to ensure that all children are learning the same things as they move through schooling. The curriculum is set out in 4 required key stages for students ages 5 \u2013 16. With an optional key stage 5 for ages 17 & 18 (years\/grades 12 & 13). Students attending international schools almost always include key stage 5, also known as college, in the British sense of the word.<\/p>\n The curriculum defines the fundamental aspects of learning including the subjects to be taught, the knowledge, skills, and development with each subject. The level of ability students are expected to achieve in the subject, and lastly how students will be assessed. With that framework, schools are free to plan and organize lessons as they see fit.<\/p>\n Accreditation for\u00a0the National Curriculum for England comes directly from the UK Department of Education and includes a scheme for overseas schools, called BSO\u2019s (British Schools Overseas) to verify they meet the standards of UK schools.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][\/et_pb_tabs][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ background_enable_color=”off” background_image=”https:\/\/teachingnomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Paddy-field-in-Vietnam.png” custom_padding=”80px||65px||false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_cta title=”Why consider teaching in Vietnam?” button_text=”Click Here” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ header_font=”Lato|900|||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#1d1f20″ header_font_size=”34px” body_font=”Lato||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_text_color=”#606262″ body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”1.4em” background_enable_color=”off” text_orientation=”left” background_layout=”light” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Just like anywhere else in the world,\u00a0students’ temperaments and attitudes will vary vastly.
