Creative Education in Viet Nam and China: A Case Study of Some Vietnamese and Chinese Schools

Abstract

Faced with the growing demands of society, people must be more and more innovative and creative, because originally creativity is at the heart of social progress, of the prosperity of each nation. Creative education, in practice, promotes the development of the open mind of students by enriching it, nourishes ideas and creative capacity; it is certainly the “main way” to train creative people and thus promote the development of a creative society. Studies on creative education in Vietnam are currently highly recommended with all the more reason in the context of the global renovation of education. However, if creative teaching practices are relatively abundant, the question of what level this education was understood and mastered in Vietnamese schools remains little explored so far. The following article presents the results of research conducted on the reality of creative education in secondary schools in three provinces of North Viet Nam: Hanoi, Nam Dinh and Quang Ninh. The results of the survey will be cross-checked with those obtained in three Chinese provinces of Beijing, Guangdong and Guangxi.
