Văn Miếu - Quốc Tử Giám


Văn Miếu, otherwise known as the Temple of Literature or the Confucius Temple, in Hanoi was built in 1070 to commemorate the Confucian system of education, a proud heritage of the Vietnamese educational system. Quốc Tử Giám, built in 1076, was the first National University of Vietnam where talented Vietnamese men came to be trained and took exams to become madarins. Education has always been an important virtue within the Vietnamese culture.

What you see is a picture of this year's team of teachers serving in Vietnam taken outside the gate of Văn Miếu - Quốc Tử Giám.
