“…At present, there is no effective policy from government to attract overseas graduates to return. A MOET survey indicates 70% of self-funded overseas students are willing to work in a developed country (Vo & Shi, 2017). Study has shown that 100% of international graduates want to stay in the host country to study and work, regardless of their economic status (Pham, 2019).…”

“…However, ad hoc estimation was found from various sources. Some secondary sources specified the number 63,703 in 2006 (Kuroda et al, 2018), 40,000 in 2006~2007 and 130,000 in 2016~2017 (Vo & Shi, 2017), and to 200,000 in 2018 (L. H. N. Tran, 2019). Figure 2 shows number of Vietnamese international students according to estimation from the MOET in Mar.…”

“…Number of middle-class families, who can afford funding for a study abroad is increasing firmly. Some parents even send children to study abroad since they are in junior high school because they think it is better for children to learn languages and adapt to foreign countries (Vo & Shi, 2017). Raising of domestic tuition fees is also a factor to make students consider study abroad (RFA, 2021).…”

The shortage of highly-skilled ICT (information and communications technology) workers remains a serious and global concern. This paper reports on how to attract more computer science majors to job fields within ICT that are especially critical to economic growth, rather than how to solve the overall shortage. A qualitative preliminary study found that certain software-related aspects might play an important role when picking a job field. In order to generalize and validate these findings an online survey based on the Social Cognitive Career Theory was conducted. The data were analyzed and show that the software used in a prospective job does in fact have a positive influence on computer science majors' career choice when a technical usage of the software is pursued. A direct correlation exists between usage frequency of a software product and the willingness to take on a job in which the software is used. A modern user interface is an advantage when attracting computer science majors to specific job fields but other characteristics such as good functionalities and ease of learning seem to affect career choice much more. Further research will be required to determine which characteristics of a software are decisive.

“…Recently, there are a number of studies related to students 'overseas study published in international newspapers that are only accessible from the learners' side. Vo's (2017) want to gain better qualifications in order to improve job prospects. Nghia ( 2019) also studies Vietnamese students' motivation to study abroad, confirming that students want to achieve better professional qualifications for the chance to settle.…”

“…Currently, there is no research in Vietnam on factors influencing the decision of parents to send their children to study abroad. In the country, a few papers study the factors that affect learners' decisions to study abroad (Do & Nguyen, 2020;Nghia, 2019;Vo, 2017;Sen, 2015;Tu & Hang, 2016). Overseas research also focuses on the determinants of students' study abroad (Kakkad & Nair, 2015;Mpinganjira, 2009).…”

The study aims to identify factors influencing the parents’ decision in Ho Chi Minh City to send their children to study abroad. The study used the exploratory factor analysis method to examine and estimate regression coefficients on sample 243 observations from parents whose children study abroad. Research has identified 6 factors affecting the decision to send a child to study abroad. The paper shows that the parents’ decisions to let their children study abroad are not only based on the parents’ desire but also on the students’ desire. In addition, factors such as the family’s financial capacity, training programs, career prospects, and self-reliance also affect the parents’ decisions to send their children to study abroad. Interestingly, the study found that factors of self-reliance have negative impacts on parents’ decisions to send their children to study abroad. When they realized that their child may have good self-reliance, great success would be obtained regardless of study location. As a result, motivation for the overseas study was no longer found by them. Since then, domestic training programs need to increase opportunities to practice English, the opportunity to practice independence and flexibility in training programs will limit your children to study abroad.

With constant increasing in numbers of students studying abroad, Vietnam is on the way to become one of the largest contributors to the world's international student mobility. The overall picture was changed from several thousand students sent to the Eastern bloc during the cold war to about 200,000 students currently studying in Japan, Australia, US, Europe etc. This paper reviews the factors that affect the transition of trends and mobility of Vietnamese international students in the modern time. By examining related studies and literature, we demonstrated that transition of studying abroad in Vietnam is not subjectively resulted by decision of the students themselves or of their families, but it is strongly influenced objectively by external determinants including cultural, social, political, foreign relation, economic, educational factors in the country. The results found five macro factors that influence the transition trends of Vietnamese international students over time, including number of students, study destinations, career after graduation and impact on society.
