    This paper investigates the determinants of students’ success in Vietnam through conducting online interviews and surveys with 2,500 Vietnamese students at eight famous universities in Vietnam. By applying both SPSS 22 and STATA software, the study is to evaluate the impact of four driver factors, which affect GPA, language efficacy, and personal achievement. These factors are psychological perspective, home environmental, student demographic, and school environmental. The research results emphasize a positive effect of psychological and home-environmental determinants, but the negative effect of school environmental factors on the students’ success. Besides, the relationship between demographics and student success was tested and indicated that male students have a better language learning ability, but a low level of academic achievement than female students. The results also point out the impact of religious affiliation and ethnicity on personal achievement. Non-religious students are better achievers than those having a religion or those in minority ethnicity. Moreover, accumulated schooling years are negatively associated with students’ success. The more working experience students accrued, the higher possibility they are successful. Finally, the finding provides an insight into students’ success that might be useful to government authorities and other universities in designing policies for enhancing the quality of education.

Vietnam is a region with relatively large and stable annual solar radiation. However, the use of solar energy in Vietnam and especially in Ho Chi Minh City has not yet developed.

    ( 2020)
    Huynh Thi Phuong Thuy
    John Locke (1632-1704) is one of the most influential names in Western European society during the bourgeois revolutions. In his system of philosophy, education ideology plays a rather important role. Locke published a book of ""Few Reflections on Education"" in 1693, in which he formulated his philosophy of education. His views on education were radical for that era, and even though he wrote them nearly 400 years ago, they continue to influence the way we think about education and raising children today. Jonh Locke is a truly influential thinker and he is part of the group of British philosophers considered empirical, who believe that our knowledge and understanding of the world comes to us through ""sensory experience"". In the framework of the article, the author clarifies some educational ideas of J. Locke, thereby analyzing its significance for the current Vietnamese educational innovation.

    After the World Health Organization declared the new Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a pandemic on March 11, 2020, as of March 23, more than 350,000 cases were confirmed globally [1]. The infection has skyrocketed to 5-digit numbers in several countries [1]. Vietnam, however, which shares a long border and has a massive volume of trade with China, appears to have a good hold on the spread of the disease. Since the first case of COVID-19 was announced on January 23, there have been only 123 infected cases with zero death confirmed [1,2]. Thus, we write this letter to shed more light about epidemiological maps of cases in Vietnam and also provide helpful information for epidemiologists and policy makers to address specific measures in response to the pandemic.
