At university, it is a big turning point in the lives of each human. Most parents in Vietnam today think that studying at university is the best future guarantee for their children. Therefore, many parents have put pressure on the grades and hierarchies in the classroom. To revoke that, they race each other for their children to study, learn the fool, causing you to have time to rest, to play healthy. We can't confirm whether parents think or think is wrong at all when good jobs require degrees. Studying at university is important by the way. Firstly, in a higher education environment, students will have access to selected knowledge as quickly as they can through books and practices. Its knowledge will help you to raise your expertise at work later on. Secondly, universities provide you with more opportunities for your careers. For example, companies tend to receive students who have good results or are proved to be excellent from universities instead of looking for candidates themselves.
But is university the only way to success? No is the answer. If you think about it, scientists, the richest people in the world don't everybody go to university but they still succeed. Let's take just one example. Bill Gates, a global owner of Microsoft at the age of 20, has dropped out of university to pursue his interests. And the people who invented the utility plow or the reapers were just farmers. We cannot deny the benefits of college, but why are there thousands of unemployed students every year? And very few students get out to school and do their training? Many students get a good degree, a good degree, but are difficult or unable to get a job. There are only two main reasons, which are that few practices lead to a lack of skills and a failure to implement the skills that they have learned. In short,the university is not the only path to success but it is the most secure and secure path. So when you slip through college, you don't have to go through sadness, and this door closes, another door opens, and importantly we have to have faith and determination, and one day we will achieve success.

University Entrance Examination is very important to Vietnamese students. High school graduates have to take it and get high results to be admitted to universities. The pressure on the candidates remains very high despite the measures that have been taken to reduce the heat around these exams, since securing a place in a state university is considered a major step towards a successful career for young people, especially those from rural areas or disadvantaged families.

In addition to universities, there are community colleges, art and technology institutes, professional secondary schools, and vocational schools which offer degrees or certificates from a-few-month to 2-year courses.
