Performing Arts Administration and Management in Vietnam - A Comparative Study
Huong T.K. Le Abstract
In accordance with internationalisation in education in Australia, this paper investigates how applicable Australian training courses might be in meeting demands of other countries in the Asia Pacific region. Stemming from the fact that Vietnam had not developed any training course in arts and culture management, and also to examine performing arts administration and management in the current environment in Vietnam, a comparative study between Hanoi, Vietnam and Sydney, Australia was carried out to explore which management methods were utilised in performing arts organisations, and the need for training arts leaders in Vietnam. The suitability of pertinent training packages and tertiary arts management courses from Australia perspective are examined to determine whether then could be adapted to arts administration training in Vietnam. Case study approaches were employed, using judgmental sampling with some cases in Hanoi, and in Sydney. Some arts administrators involved with managing music-oriented organisations were interviewed utilising a life history approach. In addition, relevant documents and regulations in the arts field were analysed to lay a foundation for comprehending the operation and management of performing arts organisations in Vietnam. It is expected that this research will propose some pertinent arts management training courses in Australia to contribute to the area of arts management and the development of the entertainment industry in Vietnam, as well as obtain mutual benefits for both Vietnamese and Australian education.

    Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War impacted society in a variety of ways. Today we still deal with repercussions related directly to the Vietnam War. The War took place between 1959 and 1975, and Australia was directly involved between August 1962- June 1973. It was the longest war Australia was ever involved in and probably the most controversial. Our main purpose in the war was to fight communism as part of a treaty to stop the growth of communism within Asia and Europe. This report discusses the fundamental impacts of Australia’s involvement in Vietnam and the impact it had on Australian society including attitudes towards Asia and communism, division and dissent within Australian society and the effects of the war on Australia’s War veterans.…

    In terms of social culture, it was French policy to encourage the educated to serve in the army or civil service and to assimilate into French society. Through assimilation of French ideals, the educated Vietnamese people adopted the illusion of French revolutionary concepts of liberty, fraternity and equality.

    Let’s start with the similarities. We can see that both education systems of Australian and Vietnam have twelve grades, from 1 to 12. Also schooling is compulsory for students until the age of fifteen. After finishing general education, almost students in Australia go on their studying at TAFE (Technical And Further Education) or colleges or universities and so do Vietnamese students. Furthermore, both Australia and Vietnam have public school which are co-educational, with boys and girls encouraged to participate equally in class.…

    Ethnic minority group’s makes up for 15% of Vietnams total population, but they are still representing 47% of Vietnams poor. According to the World Bank report, poverty in Vietnam is still closely linked to low education attainment. The report also states that the enrolment in primary school is high and at the same level across different social categories. When looking at the lower secondary school, the figures change, the minorities have a tendency to drop out, especially if they are within the category of poor or extreme poor (WB. R 73, 76). In Ha Giang province education is seen as an important aspect of development but the enrolment continuously drop after primary school and few pursue higher education (Jörgensen, 2006, 139-141).
