AI reshapes classrooms and universities across Vietnam education system
Education reforms in Vietnam are bringing AI into classrooms and campuses, with new programmes, policy changes, and infrastructure plans underway.
AI is becoming a central part of education in Vietnam, changing how schools are managed, how students learn, and how research is carried out. Officials say the shift is part of the country’s wider digital transformation in education.
Nguyễn Sơn Hải of Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training said earlier reforms focused on digitising activities, while AI is now reshaping teaching and administration more broadly. The ministry is also preparing legal and policy frameworks to support safe and controlled AI use in education.
Authorities have identified priorities, including AI skills for learners, shared digital platforms, and stronger infrastructure. An AI education programme for junior secondary pupils is being piloted and is expected to begin officially in the 2026–2027 academic year.
Universities are also adapting their strategies as AI changes higher education. Hanoi University of Science and Technology said it is redesigning training, assessment, and digital systems to reflect these changes.
At the same time, institutions, including Thai Nguyen University, are linking research more closely with business and local development needs. Officials say wider access to internet services and devices remains essential to ensure equal access to digital education.
