used for farming and

about 80% of

Vietnamese people live

areas are tough and

farmers need to work

long hours, and the

children must work

Material conditions in rural

• Houses in the rural areas of the South where it is

warm are built of wood, and in the North where it is colder, they are built out of stone

• Houses in the countryside are built of wood with

palm leaves or straw on the roof, a dirt floor and often have no electricity or running water Villagers collect water from the local well or river, and it is boiled to kill the germs

• Each house usually has two rooms, a small

garden where crops are grown for the family to eat and sell, a few chickens, a pig or two as

well as a water buffalo or oxen which is kept

in an area beside the house

• Every village has a market where people can buy rice, vegetables, fruit and seafood

• The tall single fronted houses common in big cities are now being built in the rural areas

Some farmers are selling their land to

developers, they build a new house and then

work for the land owners.

travel

Education in rural

• The children that live in rural areas go to school

from 7:30am to 11:30am or in the afternoon they start

at 1:00pm and go to 5.00pm

• In primary school they learn how to read, write and

do maths

• In High School they learn about history,

mathematics ,biology, science and chemistry

• Not all children in rural areas go to school because they are needed to help their family on the farm

Electricity is only connected to the staff room so the teachers have to take a power lead, TV and video to the school on their motorbikes

A class room in rural

The schools are basic with children sitting together at long desks Often there is no electricity in the classrooms, only a blackboard and shutters on the windows.

Environmental Rural

• In Vietnam, rural areas are home to more than 70% of the population and natural resources have been

heavily polluted by rapid economic growth These

include mounting population growth, lost farm land, serious poverty particularly in remote mountainous areas, and polluted working and living environments

• A vast range of rural land, water and air resources

have been heavily degraded by over-use, erosion,

flooding, polluting agro-industries, poor sewerage,

chemical waste water, pesticides and fertilizer, land use planning, in-migration, and inappropriate

technologies

chemical waste water,

• Apart from the apparent degradation on forest and farm lands, the pollution from agro-industries in craft villages and small industrial farms is a feature of rural life

• The production of pottery, bricks, wine, food

processing, carpets and metal castings produces

pollution levels that sometimes exceed national and international
