Canada and Vietnam have very different education systems. In Canada, elementary school and high school students do not pay tuition fees. They are free and available for every body, so every Canadian student can easily go to school without worry about money. In addition, Students have a lots freedom at school. For example, at most elementary school and high school in Canada; students do not have to wear uniform to school. They can wear whatever they want. Also, Canadian student are allowed to wear make up while they are at school. In addition, the Canadian high school students can choose three subjects that they want to take for each semester.

However, the education system in Vietnam is much different. First, in both elementary school and high school parents must pay money for their children to go to school. All school tuitions are extremely expensive, so some parents couldn’t afford for their children to go to school. These students either get a physical job, or they do not thing at home. Unlike Canada, all Vietnamese students have to wear uniform to go to school because that is the requirement. Vietnamese high school students have to wear white shirt, blue pans and red tie. At some public highs school, student may be required to wear a traditional white dresses, ao dai, otherwise they have to go home. Moreover, Vietnamese high school students have to take ten different subjects and they have to do well on both of the subjects. These subjects are Math, Physical Education, Social, Chemistry, Physic, English, and other subjects. The education in Vietnam and Canada are very different. The Canada education system seems to be better than the education system in Vietnam. As a result, Many Vietnamese families have tried to send their children to Canada to get a better education.
