high schools. Most of the high schools have Internet connection for teaching and
learning; however, the educational sources are still restricted and unequal.
According to statistics of the project of teaching and applying IT in high school
education (2006), the rates of schools with computer equipped as followed:
The number of schools without computer: 21%
The number of schools with 1-10 computers: 35%
The number of schools with 11-20 computers: 21%
The number of schools with more than 20 computers: 23%
The result of the Research No. B2003-49-42TD on minimum equipped condition
of facilities in high schools in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City shows that the average
rate is 75 students per computer. This statistic stated that the situation of least
equipped with information technology in high schools in Vietnam is still deficient.
Therefore, they need to be invested more, particularly the schools in rural areas.
The teaching and learning software which are currently used are mainly Sketch-
pad, Cabri Geometry and Maple for mathematics, and Chemsketch and Crocodile
for chemistry.
The Thesis No.B2003-49-42TD of the Vietnam Educational Science Institute
has conducted a survey on 1,029 high school teachers; only 57 of them know
about teaching software (not exceeding 6%). Among them, many people just know
about teaching software but are not able to use them in teaching a particular lesson.
Therefore, the rate of high school teachers with the ability of using teaching software
is very low.
