For the past four years, BMI has been growing its international education recruitment events in Vietnam. This October, in a direct response to the growing numbers of Vietnamese students seeking a secondary school education overseas, BMI is proud to launch a brand new event in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s core recruitment hubs.

Vietnam Global Boarding & High School Fair is fully endorsed and run in partnership with the Centre for International Education Consultancy (CIEC), a state-owned education agency and advising center which falls under the Vietnam Ministry of Education and Training. The Vietnamese government enthusiastically supports BMI’s efforts to produce world-class events that best serve the interests of the country’s up and coming families and school-age children.

In recent years, the K-12 school sector in Vietnam has ballooned, thanks to an increasing youth population and rising middle class. Parents are sending their children overseas at younger and younger ages – sometimes for short term courses and camps as a taster experience and more and more, to spend several years at a secondary school abroad in preparation for higher education.
