Before 1954, Vietnamese literacy was very poor .By the year 2000; literacy is now at 94% with people 15 and over. In the late 1980s and early 1990, Vietnam has done policies of economies liberalization so its education also changed very much. Secondly, the Organization of two country’s educations is very diffirent. The British system is comparatively little central control or uniform. Education is managed not by one, but by three, separate government departments: the Department for Education and Employment is responsible for England and Wales’s alone-Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own departments. None of these central authorities exercises much control over the details of what actually happens in the country’s educational institutions.

But in Vietnam, there is only one government department that is responsible for whole country’s educational system. Nowadays, the Ministry of Education and Training assumed the responsibility for all education and training at the national level. Finall diffirent is the levels of two education systems. In Vietnam, there are five levels: pre- primary, primary, secondary school, high school, university and after university.
