Abstract	Abstract Educational research in Vietnam is directed primarily by the National Institute of Educational Science (NIES), which consists of some thirteen specialised research departments. The Institute investigates various long-term aspects of educational policy reform, curriculum innovation and methodological approaches to education as well as more specialised fields such as ‘national-ethnic minorities’ and ‘population education’. The major tasks of educational research in Vietnam have to be predicated on the demands of a developing society wishing to modernise its educational structure qualitatively while coping quantitatively with enormous population growth and a situation where school-age children currently comprise some 30% of the total population. Hence, harsh demographic realities and limited economic resources have to be offset, where possible, by efficient utilisation of the intellectual capital of the people and by the establishment of realistic educational priorities on the part of the government. These are amongst the major considerations of the NIES and are exemplified by the kind of research publications already emanating from the Institute as well as by the recently announced five-year plan for research development during the period 1981–1985.
