Below are some shares from Mr. Gilles Mahe.
Mr. Gilles Mahe, CEO of XCL Education Group
In your opinion, what factors have affected the demand and changes in demand of the international education market in Vietnam?
There are two main factors leading to the formation and development of the international education segment in Vietnam. First, Vietnam's rapid economic growth has increased the number of middle-class people. They have good incomes and higher requirements for living standards, so they often want their children to study in a high-quality educational environment and improve their competitiveness through internationally recognized degrees. The second factor is the development of the digital age and globalization, which has promoted the connection and interaction of many cultures and languages; thereby creating opportunities and challenges in the job market, requiring workers to equip themselves with knowledge and skills suitable to the requirements of the new era.
Since then, the international joint education model has been "imported" and gradually become popular in Vietnam. This model allows domestic schools to link up and teach the educational program of another country, with the output being degrees and certificates recognized both domestically and internationally. The popular educational programs chosen to be taught by the international school system in Ho Chi Minh City in particular and Vietnam in general are the Cambridge general education program (UK) and the IB International Baccalaureate program (Switzerland).
The international joint education model is increasingly popular and favored in Vietnam.
How do you think the international education market in Vietnam will change in the coming time?
Currently, Vietnam's population has reached nearly 100 million people with 60% under the age of 40. These young fathers and mothers of the 8x and 9x generations, especially in big cities like Ho Chi Minh City, enjoy better education than previous generations and have more opportunities to be exposed to or study and work in an environment with foreign elements. Therefore, they are more aware of educating their children with knowledge that is up to date with the times and important skills in the new era such as communicating in English, using digital tools, data analysis, research, etc. These are the knowledge and skills found in practical subjects such as Global Perspectives, Understanding the Digital World, Economics, Business, etc. of the Cambridge general education program.
Therefore, the demand for international education programs and the trend of "studying abroad on site" will continue to increase strongly in the coming years. In fact, the significant increase of the international school system in Ho Chi Minh City . opened in the last 5 years to meet this need.
More and more parents are focusing on developing their children with knowledge and skills important to international education.
It is known that VAS is the only member of XCL Education in Vietnam and has been operating for 20 years. How has VAS adapted to market changes and what makes VAS different from its competitors?
Starting in 2004 as one of the first private schools in Ho Chi Minh City to integrate the curriculum of the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training with the Cambridge English program, VAS has continuously improved and continued to develop to introduce the Cambridge international general education program into teaching in parallel with the curriculum of the Ministry of Education and Training since 2009.
In the segment of international schools in Ho Chi Minh City , VAS has the advantage of being a pioneer with 15 years of experience implementing the Cambridge general education program, along with a team of teachers certified by the Cambridge International Examinations Council (CAIE) and long-term executives with vision and experience in managing large educational corporations in the world. VAS is also a strategic partner of CAIE in Vietnam. These are prerequisites for VAS to continue to develop and launch its key educational product, the Cambridge fully integrated international program, including all core academic subjects and adding many additional gifted subjects of the Cambridge program such as Music, Physical Education, Fine Arts, Design and many other educational programs for students to develop comprehensively such as Wellbeing, Career Counseling and University Preparation, 21st Century Skills Development, Extracurricular Activities, etc.
VAS has an advantage in terms of Cambridge program training quality and internationally certified teaching staff.
What do you think is most important for VAS and the international education market in general to continue to survive and develop in a volatile society?
Adapting, changing and constantly improving to improve quality! I believe that this is the key for any industry to "resist" the waves of social change. Always putting the interests of users first, providing the most valuable products for students but also meeting the expectations and matching the financial plans of parents is the reason why VAS stands out in the system of international schools in Ho Chi Minh City and Chosen and trusted by many generations of Vietnamese families over the past two decades.
