Vietnam is one of the most popular teaching destinations, as the cuisine, landscapes, cultural mix and amazing historical sites make it an attractive and enriching country to teach and live in.
Vietnam has seen a huge number of International schools open in the last 5 years. With a total population of over 95 million people, the sheer size of the Vietnamese population means that there will still be many high-potential and high-performing students who can benefit from an education in premium International schools.
It is worth noting that the leading Chinese cities are successful in reaching levels of student performance that match those of Singapore. This analogy causes people to be optimistic that urban HCMC and Hanoi, especially, will become more active and successful consumers of International education.
Teachers in Vietnam can experience a relatively low cost of living, as food, accommodation and leisure pursuits are all relatively cheap for Asia. Teachers are high in demand across all curricula, especially the UK, IB and US curriculum schools.
