This paper evaluates the education premium since the Doi Moi reforms were implemented over the last two decades based on survey data from VLSS of 1992, 1998 and VHLSS of 2006. Our findings show that education premiums were relatively low when the reforms were just carried out. However, as progress was made, education premiums increased gradually. We also find that the rate of return to schooling in the public sector is higher compared to the private sector for both men and women.
