This paper primarily analyzed the pre-service education for primary school teachers in Vietnam in the 21st century. First, we discussed four specific strategies regarding pre-service education for primary school teachers in Vietnam: (1) multi-institutions and the multi-school systems; (2) a unified examination and individualized admission procedure; (3) a centralized curriculum framework; and (4) the respective teacher's selection from the provinces. Then, this study further analyzed the influence of each specific strategy, the difficulties and the priorities to improve the quality of Vietnam's primary school teachers. Based on our analysis, we suggested four methods that promoted the quality of primary school teachers in Vietnam. The first method should help improve the social status of primary school teachers in Vietnam. The second method should improve the quality of the lecturers at the Teacher's College in Vietnam and eradicate the excessive influence of political courses. The third method must adjust the multi-institutions and multi-school system to avoid any issues arising due to incomplete planning. The fourth and final method must select primary school teachers in an open and transparent manner as well as establishing an exchange system for provincial teachers. As for the inspiration of our study on teacher education in Taiwan is to create uniform teacher standards for each region, actively attract students to participate in courses for primary school teachers, continuously improve training programs for primary school teachers, and pay special attention to the urban-rural disparity of teacher selection. |
