| description | This study examines the influence of mentorship on the desire to pursue higher education
among Hmong ethnic minority students aged 12-15 in Lao Cai Province, Vietnam. Utilizing
the Theory of Planned Behavior as a theoretical framework, the research investigates how
cross-ethnic mentorship between Kinh majority mentors and Hmong minority mentees affects
students' educational aspirations, using the Phieu Linh Educational Summer Camp as a case
study. The study employed a quantitative approach, collecting survey data from 75 Hmong
students participating in the summer camp. Five key aspects of mentorship were analyzed:
quality, educational accessibility, clear educational outcomes, self-awareness, and cultural
identity support, in relation to the components of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Results
indicate that all mentorship aspects positively correlate with students' educational desires, with
mentorship quality emerging as the strongest factor. Family support and household income
were also found to significantly influence educational aspirations. The study reveals that
culturally responsive mentorship can play a crucial role in shaping attitudes, subjective norms,
and perceived behavioral control related to pursuing higher education among ethnic minority
youth. This research contributes to the understanding of effective strategies for promoting
educational equity in Vietnam's multicultural context. It offers insights for designing targeted
interventions and policies to support the educational aspirations of ethnic minority students,
potentially contributing to narrowing educational gaps among ethnic groups in Vietnam. |
