Tertiary education includes regular colleges and universities, professional colleges, and short-term vocational universities.

The two-semester school year consisted of 9.5 months, and began on September 1 and March 1, with a summer vacation in July and August and a winter vacation in January and February. Under the Law on Nine-Year Compulsory Education, primary schools were to be tuition-free and parents paid a small fee per term for books and other expenses such as transportation, food, and heating.

My classmate’s opinion of obesity
Today I interviewed my classmate, Thet, about obesity. She said whenever she hears the word ‘obesity’, 'overweight’ comes to her mind. In her country, obesity is not a problem, only some rich people are overweight. She said obesity makes your blood pressure higher and can harm your heart, but obesity can increase because many people eat a lot of junk food and fast food which is not good for your health. Obese people should pay higher medical charges. She thinks that maybe governments can heighten ‘fat tax’ and people have to pay ‘fat seat’ in a plane etc.
At the moment, the parents are too busy and have no time to make some healthy meals for children. They also spoil their children by giving them more junk food. At last, Thet said “when so many people in the world are starving, obesity is immoral!”
