Educational planning for elementary and secondary schools: a comparative perspective and some suggestions
Bui Manh Hung
The major tendency of the advanced educational systems in
the world is to design the educational curriculum for elementary and secondary
schools in strongly integrated way for lower
classes and in increasingly differentiated way for higher ones; to decrease compulsory courses and
increase elective courses and activities for students. That is also the orientation to the educational reform conducted by Vietnam’s
Ministry of Education and Traning. This article analy- ses international
experiences, namely those of South Korea, Japan and partly America, in building of educational plan; compares their educational plans with
Vietnam’s, and proposes some
specific suggestions to reform Vietnam’s educa-
tional plan after 2015.
Keywords: educational plan, curriculum, integration,
differentiation, selec- tive course, Viet Nam, South Korea, Japan, America.

The development of dual training
courses “working and studying”
on colleges and universities - requirements in
the process of socialization and renovation of the education sector in our country
Pham Xuan Hau; Pham Thi Thu Thuy
In recent years dual training courses
“working and studying”
at colleges and universities in
our country have made a positive contribution in the process of implementing social learning for the improvement of the quality of labor in the process of industrialization and modernization
of the country. In the period of
basic and total renovation
of the education sector,
these training courses
still need to be further developed
in order to enhance
their contributions. To achieve
this, re- search work is much needed to bring up solutions in order to contribute positively to the improvement of the organization, management as well as the quality
of these training system and to meet the needs of society.

The paradise
of aspiration in the poems
of bui giang
Tran Nu Phuong Nhi
In light of archetypes and
on the path to the collective unconscious, the diver- gent world of Bui Giangs poems appear from many different angles. In particular,
the achetype Garden conveys to
the reader a “paradise of aspirations”
through two large icons: Spring and
the colour Green. The self-portrait of
the poet also emerges from here:
Bui Giang appeares to be changing,
living a second life, is a sage, always pondering, reminiscent, but also constantly dreaming of, and on the search
for the profound original,
good and joyous happiness of life.

Images of the sea in the epic works of thu bon, thanh thao
and huu thinh
Nguyen A Say
Epic poetry is a special category.
It was created in a particular
period of his- tory, embracing in it the history of its time
and carries on the epic narration. The sea in epic poetry is as well
described from different angles. The poets Thu Bon,
Thanh Thao, Huu Thinh wrote about the
sea with their love for the country and its people, but as they go far into the
sea they also feel the deep meaning hidden within. It is full of arduous marine life, painstaking. It also is
a long journey full of
philosophy about the human life,
as well as full of thoughts, concerns, and per-sonal feelings about today’s life.

Cong luan bao and the tho moi movement
Nguyen Thanh Thao
The formation and strong development of the so called Tho moi (the new Poet- ry) in the 1930s provoked heated disputes between modern and
traditional minds, between those representing the Tho moi and those in favor of the classical Chinese poetry. The authors of poetry in the style of Tho moi with their modern mindset and unique form of writing
created a groundbreaking new poerty.
The several decades ongoing disputation between the
two opposing parties yet confirmed more and
more strongly the victory of the Tho moi movement, and, that the new poetry
was in accordance with the rules of times
and human needs.
Cong luan bao was originally established as an organ of the colonial govern- ment.
Initially it strongly opposed the development
of Tho moi. Our research on the articles
and literary criticisms published in the Cong luan bao will bring the readers some fresh points of view on the newspaper’s
position towards the Tho Moi movement
and the dispute between the “new” and the “old” poetry.
