Although the culturally Vietnam and Bangladesh are two different country; however they possess somewhat similar value system with respect to education, industrilization and economic development.
Economy:
According to CIA world fact book estimate Bangladesh has per capita GDP $2300 (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/bg.html) and growth rate 6.6% compare to Vietnam which has $3100 and 8.2% accordingly with same inflation rate.
Education:
Vietnam, being a Confucian country, places a high importance on education. Vietnam has 22 million students. That's a quarter of the population, so at any given time, a quarter of the population is in class.
Bangladesh value education along that line and we have 18 million enroll in elementary schools, about a million appeared in HSC, SSC every year and at a given time there may be 20-30 million students in a class through out the education system.
Industry:
Vietnam has long been known as a low-cost manufacturer of Nike (NKE) sneakers, blouses for Liz Claiborne (LIZ), and wooden furniture, not to mention its huge exports of coffee, catfish, and rice.
For more than two decades, Bangladesh has been exporting readymade garments (RMG) to Europe and USA for customers like Walmart (George), Target, JC Panney, last year’s world cup soccer’s outfit and merchandise for mega-store IKEA.
