Vietnam's English Proficiency Continues to Rise
Vietnam has made significant strides in English proficiency, securing a commendable 58th place in the 2023 English Proficiency Index (EPI) by Education First (EF), a global English language training organization. This impressive ranking places Vietnam ahead of more developed regional nations such as Indonesia (79), China (82), Japan (87), and Thailand (101). Remarkably, Vietnam has climbed 30 places since its debut in the EPI rankings in 2006, when it stood at 88th.
As the EPI report highlights, there is a strong correlation between English proficiency and a nation's economic prosperity, productivity, efficiency, and innovation, hence the adoption and utilization of the English language, plays a pivotal role in sustaining economic growth and development.
In Vietnam: Asia's Rising Star, we identify the nation's commitment to education as a key driver of growth and how the acquisition of English language skills is so important to every family.
