    Abstract:
    The government of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam has recognized the importance of and the need for population education. This is a totally new area in Viet Nam, although in some isolated instances it has been included in subjects in the school curriculum. There are adequate infrastructural facilities from the national to the village level for all categories of general education, vocational education, and complementary education as well as for preservice and inservice training for educational personnel. In June 1981 the UN Fund for Population Activities Needs Assessment Mission made the following recommendations for the effective implementation of a population education program: a National Committee on Population Education should be established with the Minister or Vice Minister of Education as the chairperson; a separate Department or Unit of Population Education, with full time personnel, should be created in the Ministry of Education and should be responsible for project implementation; population education should be integrated with relevant subjects in general education, complementary education, and vocational education; external assistance should be provided for the development and production of different instructional materials in population education; population education should be integrated in the preserve training of primary, junior, and senior secondary teachers; population education should be developed as an area of specialization at the post university level in Teacher Training University No. 1 at Hanoi; the launching of the population education project should be preceded by training of high level officials from the Ministry of Education and the training of key personnel at the national and provincial levels through a national training course of about 10 days; selected project personnel and teacher educators should be given specialized training in population education; all the inspectors, administrators, and heads of primary, junior, senior, and complementary schools should be given orientation in population education; all the teachers in general schools and complementary schools who would teach population education should be trained; and external assistance is recommended for seminars, study forums, specialized training and fellowships.
