Summary
Conventional measures such as PISA judge the Vietnamese school system to have high levels of pupil performance and attainment. This chapter explores the interesting features that might account for the success rate in tests. The research explores the perspectives of parents, local business owners and teacher trainers. Key areas to emerge were policy, accountability, teaching, leadership and school community partnership.
