Summary:

Singapore has always been a case study that has been researched, learned, and analyzed very carefully. The stories about the miraculous development of this small country are no longer new. However, after numerous studies and articles, the question that needs to be asked is: what have we really learned from Singapore, and what have we applied to Vietnam? Singapore’s strong development has created a significant gap and allowed it to surpass many countries, including Vietnam, in important areas such as education, science, and technology. Although this is a long - accepted truth, it is one that we need to rethink in order to bring new changes for Vietnam. Vietnam’s goal is to catch up with and possibly surpass Singapore in many areas. Compared to Singapore, Vietnam does have advantages in terms of natural, cultural, and human resources. The appropriate implementation of strategies to effectively combine education with culture to harness Vietnam’s potentials will create numerous opportunities for the nation in the race towards the future.
