ABSTRACT
While gender discrimination
was severe in Vietnam in the distant past, it has been significantly mitigated
since independence. Girls and women have been treated on a more equal basis and
have achieved much more success than what they had in the past and in relation
with boys and men. An analysis of the available data will allow us to show that
there has been an increase in the number of female students at the different
levels of education. However, the findings from a research conducted in rural
areas shows that girls still suffer from more pressure and face more challenges
in education than boys, and tend to be sacrificed when the family has to make a
choice. The proposed article is based on a research conducted from 2013 to
2015, in five provinces located in three main areas: the North, Centre, and
South of Vietnam. Financed by the National Foundation for Science and
Technology Development (NAFOSTED) and statistical data of other studies, the
educational strategies of rural households were investigated through in-depth
interviews and focus group discussions with parents of children enrolled in
primary and secondary school.
