World Education Services (WES) is organizing a webinar on 7 June entitled An Overview of Education in Vietnam.  WES is a  New York City-based not-for-profit organization specializing in foreign credential evaluation and “the leading source of international education intelligence,” according to its website.

In April 2011, representatives from over 60 U.S. colleges and universities participated in a week-long tour of Vietnam and Indonesia as part of the Obama administration’s initiative to multiply U.S. exports, including higher education, over the next five years. As Vietnam experiences a rapid economic growth, second only to China, college applications from Vietnam have appeared in admissions offices across the U.S. in increasing numbers. This webinar will feature an overview of the system of education, institution recognition, grading scales, and degree requirements, as well as demonstrate the WES methodology when authenticating academic credentials from Vietnam.
