THE PROCESS OF CHANGING EDUCATIONAL THOUGHTS IN VIETNAM IN THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY

Abstract

The process of changing educational thoughts in Vietnam in the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century could not bring back radical changes in society, it did mark an outstanding milestone in the history of Vietnam’s education. It was like a new wind that blew into the Vietnamese education, leaving many great values as follows: education must be progressive and corresponding to historical demands; education must be universal and comprehensive; education must bear lofty humanitarianism. To make this become a reality, it was crucial to proscribe unsuitable ways of education and to acquire mankind’s educational essence in order to develop a well-rounded education.
