    Multigrade Teaching in Vietnam
    In Vietnam, there are many forms of multigrade classes. One teacher may be in charge of 2, 3, 4 or 5 different
    levels of children. So far, multigrade schools are quite widely used in ethnic minority areas with the purpose of
    providing primary education to disadvantaged children by bringing schools closer to communities where
    children live. There are 2,162 primary schools with multigrade classes, accounting for 1.8% of total primary
    schools. There are 143,693 students learning in multigrade classes. These represent 38% of the school
    population. Problems associated with multigrade classes, include the following:- There is a serious shortage of
    teachers, especially skilled teachers for multigrade teaching. Teachers of multigrade classes are working in
    difficult and isolated conditions. The training of teachers for multigrade classes does not meet the required
    standard in either quality or quantity. Teaching methods of the ethnic minority schools are very poor and
    unsuccessful. For example, students are not encouraged to be involved actively in the teaching-learning
    process. Most of the multigrade schools lack textbooks, guidebooks and materials for reference of students
    and teachers. Teaching equipment is very simple. Many multigrade classes are in very bad condition. Pupils
    face language barriers when trained teachers from urban areas are sent to teach in ethnic minority schools.

    MY POINT OF VIEW

    Multi-grade teaching caters to the needs of every student in terms of education. Through this program, it gives
    quality education all over the world. We all know that even though there are countries that are progressive, it
    does not mean that all the people who live in these countries are all rich. Of course, there are also people who
    are poor. Like in the Philippines, they have rural and urban areas. As a result, in Vietnam, multi-grade
    education is one successful method of providing primary education to children who are at a disadvantage due
    to living in remote and difficult geographical areas. It is also economical in terms of teachers, thus suiting the
    situation in Vietnam where there is a shortage of teachers. So, through multi-grade teaching, it addresses
    teacher shortages, especially in rural, hard-to-reach areas with small school enrollments, and ensures a cost-
    effective measure to expand access to basic education.
