A Japan education exhibition also took place in Hanoi on June 3, showcasing nearly 90 universities, colleges and academies in Japan.
Visitors to the exhibition were given updated information on incentives for Vietnamese students, as well as the procedures required to study in the country. Japan is considered an ideal destination for Vietnamese students because of its diversified culture, natural beauty, social security and reasonable tuition fees.
