Hanoi accelerates digital transformation in education
Achievements
In the 2022-2023 school year, Hanoi’s education and training sector well implemented major tasks and achieved comprehensive results. Specifically, Hanoi continued to expand its educational scale with more investment in standard, modern training facilities; recognized 23 high quality schools, established 24 new schools of different levels; and is preparing to build seven more inter-level advanced, modern schools on an area of five hectares or more in the city.

It also advised and proposed the city’s People’s Council and People’s Committee on mechanisms and policies in the field of education and training in the city; developed a contingent of teachers and educational management staff who can meet the educational renovation requirements.
In addition to paying attention to mass education, Hanoi continued to maintain and improve the quality of spearhead education with eight international prizes and lead the country in terms of the number of prizes in the national excellent student exams.
Boosting digital transformation
Despite those achievements, Director of Hanoi Department of Education and Training Tran The Cuong acknowledged there are still limitations in the sector such as the planning of school and classroom networks in some inner-city districts being inappropriate, leading to a shortage of public schools in some areas. Some old schools have not been renovated or repaired promptly which have affected the quality of teaching and learning.
Particularly, the effectiveness of information technology application in the management and direction remains modest. Therefore, digital transformation has been identified as the critical tasks for the 2023-2024 academic year of Hanoi’s education sector, especially in the admission affairs at the beginning of the school year. “From this school year, Hanoi is determined to implement online enrollment, for both public and private schools, to ensure fairness and transparency.”
Attending this conference, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son urged the capital’s education sector to prioritize implementing all measures and be determined to effectively carry out its tasks, including effective implementation of the new general education program according to the roadmap. The minister emphasized that in the new school year, the city needs to try its best in the primary school enrollments, in which Hanoi must stop the scene of parents queuing up all night to buy and submit applications, especially in the current age of digital technology and modern management. “We should not let this situation go on. The director of Hanoi’s department of Education and Training is determined to solve it and I think we can definitely do it,” said minister Son.
To do this, the minister proposed that in the new school year 2023-2024, Hanoi should promote the application of information technology and digital transformation in education. In particular, the city’s education sector needs to focus on “quality” in all aspects of teaching-learning, testing-assessment; ensuring equipment infrastructure, information security and data to be accurate, sufficient and timely to serve the management and capacity building for administrators and teachers.
