Mekong River Delta is the key agricultural economy nationwide. It is a developing area, its HDI (Human Developing Index) ranked third (0,669) and lower than that of the national average, EI (Education Index), a part of HDI, classified as low, rate of unskilled labour accounted for the highest percentage in which the female workers were of without expertise and of even more lower education which is one of the biggest barriers to the social-economic development in the Mekong River Delta. The writing, with its limits, is simply to examine the background of Mekong River Delta’s history, culture and education, to trace down the causes resulted in current low education situation and also to analyse its actual low education especially gender inequality in education based on statistics that has been so far uninterested in research.
