So, why is Vietnam so poor despite its education system?
Probably has more to do with 4 basic concepts/requirements:
2) infrastructure
3) natural resources
4) trade
If you look at the countries with high GDP and GDP per capita, you will see that those countries have implemented those 4 above concepts/requirements. And, really, it needs almost all of those to really work on a GDP per capita basis. Education falls under the "natural resources" piece, as having highly educated workforce/labor force can help bring higher paying jobs, but only if the infrastructure exists such as roads/transportation/shipping/electricity/warehouses/office spaces/manufacturing lines/etc., are available to support those jobs, and that capitalism exists to give the worker the upward mobility and drive for rewarding their work and talent with higher pay, and that there is a market that exists that can both afford to pay for the goods produced by the higher paying jobs and support the higher wages of the skilled workers....
