Vietnam Ministry of Education Focuses on Digital Transformation with Tangible Results for 2026-2027 Academic Year

The Ministry of Education and Training has identified digital transformation as a key priority for the 2026-2027 academic year, stipulating that its implementation must be measured by concrete products, results, and specific impacts. This directive directly links digital transformation to innovations in management methods, governance, teaching, examination, assessment, and the provision of educational services. This approach underscores the ministry's strong commitment to enhancing the quality of education through digital transformation. Specifically, promoting digitalization in educational administration and management aims to build more efficient and transparent systems. Infographics have previously highlighted significant achievements in digital transformation within the education sector, indicating a push to further accelerate this momentum. Across the Vietnamese education landscape, digital transformation is anticipated to be a driving force for educational reform. There is a strong aspiration for digital transformation even in highland areas where infrastructure may be less developed, suggesting its potential to contribute to educational equity. For higher education, the establishment of centralized digital data systems is seen as crucial for further advancing digital transformation. Under Vietnam's one-party system, large-scale policy implementation driven by the state is a characteristic feature, and the digital transformation in education is also being advanced under the government's strong initiative. Against the backdrop of recent rapid economic growth, modernizing the education system is deemed essential for nurturing the future workforce and strengthening international competitiveness. While Vietnam has strong economic ties with China, digitalization in education can be seen as part of efforts to improve domestic educational standards and cultivate global talent.
