Creating a comprehensive education

GD&TĐ - After many years of innovation, Vietnamese education has affirmed its great progress, in which Gia Lai has recorded many outstanding achievements.

Journey of innovation and integration

During the period 2000–2025, Vietnam witnessed strong economic, political and social changes, driven by the process of deep international integration and the digital technology revolution. Education is also constantly innovating, proactively and flexibly with many breakthroughs, creating a comprehensive education, ready to adapt to the development of the times.

If in the early 2000s, the industry focused on expanding its scale, from 2011 to 2020, education shifted to fundamental and comprehensive innovation, increased application of information technology and international integration. After 2020, facing many complex fluctuations, the industry had breakthrough solutions to maintain operations, affirming its key role in the country's development.

The COVID-19 pandemic has become a strong impetus, promoting the conversion to online teaching and learning with the motto "temporarily stop going to school, not stop learning". After the pandemic, digital transformation has been identified as a strategic direction with the goal of perfecting industry databases, developing digital science resources, and fostering digital skills for teachers and students. This is a challenging period, but it also creates momentum for innovation in teaching methods, affirming the flexible adaptability of the Vietnamese education system to global fluctuations.

In terms of scale, over the past 25 years, Vietnamese education has expanded rapidly at all levels. Preschool education was universalized for 5-year-olds in 2017, with nearly 99% of children attending school. At the general level, universal primary education has been firmly maintained, lower secondary education has been completed nationwide, and many localities have universalized upper secondary education; the proportion of students attending school at the right age has increased, and the dropout rate has decreased significantly.

Vocational education has also developed strongly, by 2020 about 70% of workers who have received vocational training will be granted certificates. In higher education, the number of students per 10,000 people increased from 117 (in 2000) to more than 200 (in 2010) and continued to increase in the period 2020-2025. Many universities are autonomous, more closely linked to the labor market.

By 2025, Vietnam's education system will have formed a synchronous network from preschool to postgraduate level, with diverse types, gradually approaching regional and international standards.
