Abstract

In 1954, America supported Ngo Dinh Diem to establish in South Vietnam the US henchman government with the name of the Republic of Vietnam. The US had made efforts to aid the government of the Republic of Vietnam to strengthen its military, economic and political strength as well as invest in educational development, including higher education to solve the problem of human resource training to serve the “regime” and conduct research on practical issues of social life in South Vietnam to serve American goals. One of the salient features of higher education in South Vietnam is the influence of two trends, French and American education. In the years of 1956-1964, higher education in South Vietnam was heavily influenced by French higher education in terms of system structure, content, training programs and methodologies. Since 1965, the practical values and pragmatism of American higher education have been shaped and become obvious in the higher education model of the Republic of Vietnam. From clarifying the factors affecting the formation of higher education in South Vietnam, the article focuses on explaining some influences of French and American education in geoeducation in South Vietnam on the aspect of system structure. At the same time, the article also gives comments and evaluations on this issue.
