Vietnam has made constant progress in education but for children and adolescents from ethnic minorities, the disparities are multi-fold. In addition to their poverty-stricken background, many do not transition from pre-primary to primary and to secondary education level, which consequently, contribute to poor learning achievements and early drop out.

The two provinces are the 7th and 3rd poorest provinces respectively. Ethnic minority children in Lao Cai and Dien Bien do not experience the same level of and outcome of education as other children in Viet Nam do. Lao Cai has an enrolment rate of 11.5% for kindergarten (3-4 years) showing deficiency in school readiness for 88.5% of the children. In 2016-2017, the attendance rate of children under 3 in Dien Bien remains low (17.9%).
