Schools in Vietnam learn to follow a new curriculum

Article Abstract:

Money-strapped public schools in Vietnam are turning to the private sector for capital and facilities, while private schools are on the rise to serve the affluent Vietnamese school-age population. A United Nations report observed that students attending public schools are frequently asked to donate money for construction or various purposes. There is strong demand for private schools like the Cuu Long, which is financially able to import foreign teachers to teach conversational English by employing dynamic Western-style systems.

Life in postwar Vietnam: idyllic or haunting?

Article Abstract:

Two novels provide contrasting glimpses of life in Vietnam during the postwar US embargo. Lady Borton's 'After Sorrow: An American Among the Vietnamese' chronicle the lives of former peasant women in the Viet Cong while Duong Thu Huong's 'Novel Without a Name' tells the story of a North Vietnamese soldier who, as a teenager, joined the military service, coming out of it a cynical and angry young man in the brink of insanity.
