How the education pathway works
The system map separates the school stages from higher education without converting the opening-ceremony figures into level-specific enrolment totals.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Primary education | Primary | Primary education forms the first main school stage. |
| Lower-secondary education | Lower secondary | Lower secondary follows primary schooling. |
| Upper-secondary education | Upper secondary | Upper secondary leads toward graduation and later study. |
| Universities and colleges | Higher education | Higher education follows secondary or equivalent qualifications. |

How to read the Vietnam evidence
The approximately 26 million figure covers pupils and students together and is not presented as a school-only enrolment census.
The 52,000 figure is the approximate number of education and training institutions connected to the opening ceremony, not a newly defined school count.
