Higher and tertiary education are crucial to modern nations. Vietnam has great potential, but its universities and colleges are poor-performing, under-funded and slow to change compared to those in neighbouring East Asian nations. This book analyses the problem and provides constructive solutions for the reform of higher education.

"a valuable resource on the most current development of HE and insights into the remaining issues of the sector for both Vietnamese and international scholars, lecturers and students interested in education in Vietnam. The book is, therefore, highly recommended for readers." - Higher Education
