differences between Vietnam and Thailand.

through the Ministry of Education from pre-school to senior high school. A free

primary school and three years of lower secondary school. In Vietnam,
compulsory education lasts for nine years, consisting of five years of

compulsory, while Vietnam mandates that students attend upper secondary
school after lower secondary.

without free provisions.

also have some differences

traditional musical instruments such as strings and drums
- Second, the theme of the songs focuses on love, nature, and traditional
culture.
+ Those are the similarities, but there are also differences:

thung” and “more lam”, while Vietnamese music stands out with genres
such as folk music, reformed opera, and lyrical music.
