Computer Science in Vietnam
I have just graduated from VNU (Vietnam National University), major in Information Systems and I don't recall being taught any of these. I live in the capital so I'm sure my curriculum is the standard one, approved by the Education Ministry: studied about Windows 3.1 at grade 3 (circa 1998), Microsoft Office suite at grade 5, Pascal at grade 8 (secondary school), Pascal again at grade 11 (high school). For high schoolers, we also have to study either IT class or mechanic class for a few months. At college, we study C/C++/Java/PHP but no mention of functional languages. The last exercise is too hard and I would agree with luckymoney that it is only given in gifted school/class.<p>What I'm trying to say is that the story is pretty one sided. The school website[1] is currently down but I have found the school in the department website[2]. The school appears to be one of the first three national-standardized schools in Da Nang. It also focuses a lot in using IT for management and teaching.<p>1: <a href="http://www.bevandan.vnn.vn/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bevandan.vnn.vn/</a><p>2: <a href="http://pgdthanhkhe.edu.vn/donvi/detail/48491409.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://pgdthanhkhe.edu.vn/donvi/detail/48491409.aspx</a>
