In which, a large number of Vietnamese students also attend high school in the country, some others are doctoral students or have graduated, who stay to work and continue to study at higher levels.
Previously, Vietnamese students went to Australia mainly to study at university level, the number of Vietnamese students at high school and vocational training was small. In recent years, the number of high school and vocational students has been increasing, she said.

Thereby, Vietnamese students have made very important contributions to the economic development of Australia./.
