VN Assessment Goals until 2020 the government intends to conduct
national surveys of achievement periodically for Grades 5, 7, 9 and 11 in Math and Vietnamese and gradually expand to include other subjects.
evaluation standards have been developed for all pre-tertiary education and schools will be evaluated against these at both local and national levels.

Enabling Environment for Education Assessment System
Vietnam places a high priority on assessments. GDETA and DOETs are well-staffed and their budgets include targeted funds for carrying out assessments.
In agencies like VNIES, there are teams of competent assessment specialists capable of conducting national surveys of student achievement.
policymakers in Vietnam take assessment results seriously and use them to improve education quality.
22
Alignment with Education System
Newly developed national standards and an updated curriculum clearly define the national goals in education.
The results of assessments are used to interpret the quality of curriculum. Vietnam is also serious to link the results of assessments with policy and teaching (new policy on full day schooling).

Technical Aspects
The exams and surveys studied were found to be technically sound and avoided most common mistakes.
However, there is lack of evidences on reliability and validity of these assessments that need to be considered.
With support from READ program, there is a plan to review assessment types for improvement.
