Description

In recent years, the majority of Vietnamese students who pursue self-financed education inJapan originate from rural areas or ethnic minority backgrounds. The documents presented inthis study, despite differences in scholarship systems and funding mechanisms, serve asadmission guidelines demonstrating that even individuals from economically disadvantagedmountainous regions can access study abroad opportunities through scholarship programs.These documents explicitly acknowledge the substantial financial burden associated withlearning Japanese, while also outlining scholarship frameworks that necessitate part-timeemployment alongside academic pursuits or a commitment to work at a designated institutionfor a specified period upon graduation. By examining the realities of "studying abroad" and "academic enrollment" in Japaneselanguage schools, often pursued with an underlying objective of income generation, this studycritically analyzes the structural role of Vietnamese language schools. Similar to theVietnamese agencies responsible for dispatching technical intern trainees to Japan, theseinstitutions function as de facto "sending organizations" under the guise of educationalinstitutions, facilitating the supply of laborers or human resources tailored to the demands ofthe Japanese labor market.
