The general education in Vietnam is categories into 5 levels: pre-school, primary, secondary, upper secondary and higher education. Public kindergartens usually admit children ranging from 18 months to 5 years old. Children normally start primary school education at 6. Education at this level lasts for 5 years and it is compulsory for all.
Secondary and upper secondary education is homogenous throughout most of the country, except in very remote provinces. This level of education is not compulsory. The IGE is a prerequisite entrance examination for secondary schooling. The IGE score determines the schools at which students are able to enroll.
University entrance is based on the scores achieved in the entrance examination. High school graduates need high scores to be admitted to universities. According to Vietnam's Ministry of Education and Training, there are currently 23 private universities, accounting for 11% of the total.
