Vietnam school textbook and supply availability

Overview

As the new academic year approached in Vietnam, initial reports highlighted significant anxiety among parents in provinces such as Ha Tinh and Ca Mau due to shortages of essential textbooks and workbooks. Families reported difficulties locating specific editions, such as ‘Ket noi tri thuc voi cuoc song’, and expressed concerns regarding the replacement of older versions with new editions.

By early September, the situation shifted toward high consumer demand in major urban centers like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. While earlier reports focused on scarcity, later observations noted heavy crowds and long queues at major retailers like Fahasa and Tiền Phong. Although retailers reported stable pricing and sufficient stock for various supplies, some parents continued to face challenges finding specific textbooks for certain grade levels.
