The situation of empowerment of primary schools in Hanoi, Vietnam from the perspective of Education and Training Department officers shows that Vietnam has initially approached the trend of decentralization. Decentralization activities have taken place and legal guidelines have been issued. However, the regulations have been limitted the rights of school level. The role of the district level has been high. The schools are still the executing unit and they do not have accountability and responsibility.
