Socialization – The golden key to help many industries in Vietnam make breakthroughs

Since the 1986 Renovation, Vietnam has gradually begun to socialize many fields, expanding the participation rights of private organizations, communities, and non-state individuals, in order to improve service quality and reduce the budget burden.

Below are some industries that have clearly transformed thanks to socialization, with important milestones:

1. Socialized healthcare since the 1990s

Before 1990: Almost the entire hospital system was public, overloaded, lacking equipment and poor service.

After 1990: The State allowed the establishment of private hospitals and private clinics.

Turning point : 2002 – officially had a clear policy on socialized healthcare (Decision 10/2002/QD-TTg).

Presently: Modern private hospitals such as Vinmec, Hoan My, FV, Gia An 115… are playing an increasingly important role in the health care system.

2. Aviation – strong socialization since 2007

Before 2007 : Vietnam Airlines was the only airline in the country, operating under a monopoly mechanism with high prices.

2007: VietJet Air was established – opening the era of low-cost private aviation.

2011: VietJet flies commercially, creating strong competition, helping ordinary people have the opportunity to fly.

Present: Diverse aviation ecosystem: Vietnam Airlines, VietJet, Bamboo Airways,... contributing to the growth of tourism, logistics, and international services.

3. Publishing textbooks – socialization after 2018

Before 2020: Textbooks were only published by one unit, Vietnam Education Publishing House.

2018: The Government approved the new general education program - allowing the socialization of textbooks (each subject can have many sets of textbooks selected for use).

2020: The first three textbooks were approved (Canh Dieu, Ket cau tri thuc, Chan troi sang tao).

Results: Content competition, innovative approaches, creating creative spaces for teachers and students.

4. Traffic infrastructure - strong socialization since 2004

2004 : The Government encourages the BOT and BT models to mobilize private sector to build roads and bridges.

Outstanding projects:

Hai Van Tunnel (2005, BOT).

Trung Luong – My Thuan Expressway (started construction in 2009, private sector participation).

Co Chien Bridge, Rach Mieu Bridge (BT).

Presently: Many transportation projects mobilize tens of thousands of billions of VND from the private sector.

5. Education & Training – strong socialization since 2005

2005: Resolution 05/2005/NQ-CP allows the establishment of a system of private schools, international schools, and private universities.

Present:

High schools: Vinschool, Nguyen Hoang, Nguyen Binh Khiem, Wellspring...

Universities: FPT, Ton Duc Thang, Hoa Sen, Fulbright…

Benefits: Increased competition, diverse models, reduced pressure on the public system.

6. Media – entertainment – boom since 2010

Before: Films and television were mainly state-run, with little innovation.

After 2010: Private TV stations, film production houses, digital platforms explode.

For example: Galaxy Media, BHD, VieON, TikTok, YouTube... have become strong platforms, helping Vietnam produce many high-quality, unique movies, game shows, and entertainment content.

CONCLUSION:

> Socialization does not mean loosening management, but rather allocating resources reasonably: the State performs policy tasks - the private sector participates in implementation - the people are the center.

> When there is a fair, transparent and socialized mechanism, it will help develop faster, more effectively and more creatively.

GENERAL LESSON:

> When "untied", industries develop more strongly, are more creative, and serve people better.
