Vietnam is striving to promote patriotism, self-reliance, great national unity, and the aspiration to rise up. This is best done by young Vietnamese, who are the masters of Vietnam’s future.
Teaching through rap verses excites students and helps them remember lessons. That’s how teacher Ha Anh Phuong of Huong Can High School in Phu Tho province gets her students more involved in her English class.
“In this lesson, I had an opportunity to communicate with foreign friends in English. I introduced them to the Vietnamese culture,” one of her students said.
“We’re more interested in the class when technology is involved. The more passionate we are about learning, the better our language skills become,” another commented.
Teacher Phuong uses a laptop, a projector, and the Skype app to connect her students with foreigners. Phuong is a great source of inspiration. She abandoned her well-paid job in a big city to return to her hometown in Phu Tho province to teach English to students and inspire them to become global citizens and reach beyond the Vietnamese border. In 2020, Phuong was the very first Vietnamese to be honored as a top ten finalist for the Global Teacher Prize.
“There is difficulty in everything you do. My urban exodus, to me, was not a challenge but an opportunity to realize my childhood dream of promoting values that cannot be measured by money,” said Phuong.

Many young Vietnamese people start businesses, not just to earn a living but to surpass their limits and express themselves. Le Anh Tien, born in 1990, won first prize at the 2019 Innovative Technopreneur Contest with his Multi Glass - a smart glass device that allows people with a disability to use a computer by moving their eyes and head. When asked for tips on starting a business, Tien recommended passion and aspiration.
“The desire to escape poverty pushed me forward. I wanted to create something that would help me but also benefit the community. Start-up is a thorny path but as long as you keep your faith and do it with all your heart, miracles will never cease,” said Tien.
Teacher Phuong and entrepreneur Tien are examples of a new generation of young Vietnamese people who are energetic and dare to dream big and do big, helping to fulfill Vietnam’s goal of becoming a high-income, developed country by 2045.
