Vietnam is well on its way to integrate with the world and for that reason emphasis on English language skills has become very essential.

Recently, the City Department of Education and Training decided to recruit foreign native English speakers to teach in elementary, middle and high schools in Vietnam.

The policy calls for social contributions to improve English language teaching from primary schools to senior high schools by employing only foreign native English teachers. Each student will chip in VND120,000 (US$5.8) a month to cover the $35 an hour salary of the foreign teacher.
