Travel, Teach, Live in Asia

Thinking??? (by a local teacher and travel expert in Hanoi)
By:huong nguyen

Being a Vietnamese people, I'm so proud of our country, nature and people but I am disappoited with its hard education regime. You know, I was trained to be a teacher but it's difficult for me to get a job as a teacher if I have not money or simply I have not much relationship with people having high social position. Although the salary for a teacher is rather low event you can't servive with this if you just simply live basing on this salary. You have to teach in extra classes/courses or find another part-time job. Life is difficult especially for teachers in the remote or mountainous areas. Poor teaching conditions, low salary, lack of equipments, etc....all made those teachers' living standard is lower in comparison with the other jobs. However, it's difficult for you to apply a job as a teacher. To be a teacher you have to meet many principles. I, myself, fails in that exam. Not because I'm bad at teaching, the reason is in my province, there only limited goals for candidates, there only 8 out of 256 candidates but also if you want to work in state, you have relationship with some body who supports and assists you or at least you have money. Many young people don't want to work in state not because of the low salary but also the hard policies. Vietnam Economics now is open, therefore many new opportunities for the youth to approach with new technology, new knowledge, they feel free to work in Join stock or Limited company, so do I. That is why not many talent people work in state. I think it's a fault in government policy. The young have no promotion that why they don't want to devote in many state economic fields.

I, myself, now are working in tourism field, a job is different from what I have trained, and I am not only the one who work in relevant work, many people like me. It's the common situation of many people. Disappointed.
