Vietnam's education system can be divided into 5 categories: pre-primary, primary, intermediate, secondary, and higher education. Public kindergartens usually admit children from the age of 18 months to 5 years. Children at 4 or 5 years of age are sometimes taught the alphabet and basic math. This level of education is only popular in major cities. Children normally start their primary education at the age of six. Education at this level lasts 5 years and it is compulsory for all children. This compulsory education may be one of the reasons why, despite remaining a less developed country, the literate proportion of the country's population is very high, over 90% on average. Middle schools teach students from grade 6 to 9. This educational level is generalized throughout most of the country - except in very remote provinces, which expect to popularize and standardize middle education fully within the next few years. Intermediate is a non-compulsory schooling form in Vietnam. needs, parents return their children to school. This has been found to be true, once the threshold has been breached, even if the potential economic value of the children's work has increased since their return to school. Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions; a lack of good universities and a low acceptance rate for good universities are evident in countries with a relatively high population density. India has launched EDUSAT, an education satellite that can reach remote parts of the country at a greatly reduced cost. There is also ail initiative supported by several major corporations to develop a $100 laptop. The laptops have been available since 2007. The laptops, sold at cost, will enable developing countries to give their children a digital education. In Africa, an "e-school program" has been launched to provide all 600,000 primary and high schools with computer equipment, learning materials and internet access within 10 years. Volunteer groups are working to give more individuals opportunity to receive education in developing countries through such programs as the Perpetual Education Fund. An International Development Agency project started with the support of American President Bill Clinton uses the Internet to allow co-operation by individuals on issues of social development. 29.In developing countries, ________. a. people all know that education is very important all the time b. all parents are rich enough to send their children to school c. children have rights to get high schooling d. children have to work instead of going to school 30 According to recent studies, when parents are able to overcome their financial difficulty, ________. a. they send their children back to school b. they still make their children continue working c. they have their children work even harder d. they themselves continue their schooling 31 In populous countries, ________. a. teaching is the highest-paid career b. there are a lot of good universities c. there is a lack of good universities d. no other careers are better paid than teaching 32 The third paragraph is about ________. a. an Indian education satellite b. the projects to computerize education in developing countries c. the computerization of African education d.

IV. Read the text and answer the questions.
The dramatic growth of the world's population in the twentieth century was on a scale without parallel in human history. Most of this growth had occurred since 1950 and was known as the population explosion. Between 1950 and 1980 the world population increased from 2.5 to over 4 billion, and by the end of the twenty century the figure had risen to a

bout 6.6 billion. Growth of this size cannot continue indefinitely. Recent forecasts suggest that the total population will level out at between 10 and 15 billion in the mid twenty first century. Already there are encouraging signs that the rate of increase in many less developed countries is beginning to slow down.

East, Asia, and Africa are expected to grow even more in the future. But where are the most densely
populated places on the globe?
Metropolitan areas with a population of over 10 million are called megacities, and currently, there
are 37 of them dotted around the planet. Included in this number are Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, Japan’s
three biggest cities. While Japan is currently experiencing a decline in the population overall, Tokyo is an
exception and keeps growing, boasting the largest number of people of all the cities in the world.

rush-hour trains during weekdays. Sightseeing spots, too, are always crowded and even when walking down
the street in a popular area, it is often hard to not bump into someone all the time. Tokyo city itself has a
population os 13 million people and it houses about 10% of the population of all of Japan. If you include
the neighboring perfectures of Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba, the total population reaches 38 million
7

the most populous urban area in the world.
