Raja Bentaouet Kattan, a co-author of the report, praised Vietnam for its comprehensive reform; suitable and effective policies, and investments related to education.

Vietnamese teachers working in remote and disadvantaged areas have enjoyed higher salaries than those in urban areas through the provision of allowances, she said.

The country also made a great reforms in diversifying examination methods, improving the quality of education and assessment based on students' competence, she added.

The national assessment expansion for subjects such as reading, maths, and Vietnamese language, is also one of the most important parts of the country’s education reform process, she noted.
