Digital transformation journey

Digital transformation journey in Vietnam's education industry:

  • - In 2020, the Prime Minister signed a decision approving the "National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, with a vision to 2030", in which Education is one of the areas that need to be prioritized for digital transformation. First of all, because education is an area of social impact that directly and daily concerns people. Education that is successfully digitalized will help change people's perceptions in the fastest way, bring efficiency and save costs for many activities in life - society, and at the same time, create motivation for digital transformation. for other professions.

Server room monitoring system

  • - A series of policies to promote digital transformation of education have been issued, gradually completing the legal framework, such as regulations on information technology application in management, operation, and teaching; organize online training, form regulations on distance training at university and graduate level; or issue regulations on management, operation and use of the industry-wide database system... Digital transformation in the industry focuses on three main areas through: Teaching such as e-learning training, virtual reality training; Educational management such as school management, property, information search...; Operating and managing an educational enterprise.
  • - The education sector has completed digitizing and attaching data identifiers to more than 53,000 educational institutions, 1.4 million teachers and 24 million pupils and students. Teachers are mobilized to participate in and contribute to sharing learning materials in a shared digital repository for the whole industry, expanding the Vietnamese Knowledge System with about 5,000 quality e-learning lectures, a doctoral thesis repository with nearly 7,500 theses, a multiple-choice question bank with over 35,000 questions, along with about 2,000 video lectures on television, 200 virtual experiments...
  • - However, in the general digital transformation picture of the whole industry, many educational institutions and schools have only sporadically deployed a number of applications into operation and think that they have converted digitally. This is not accurate because these are just initial mining activities. For a comprehensive digital transformation, technology will need to be fully integrated and connected in business and operational processes, transforming organizational models, and at the same time, there will be changes in thinking. awareness from each individual in the industry, towards proactively implementing more effective training, operation or management activities.

Problems and solutions

Difficulties of digital transformation in education:

- On the way to digital transformation, the education sector is also facing a number of outstanding difficulties such as lack of facilities, network infrastructure, equipment, services, internet connection, etc. outdated, unsynchronized, or many facilities have not yet met the minimum requirements to serve digital transformation. Continuing to expand and develop the industry requires a large investment of resources, from both management and implementation personnel, to financial investment, to ensure progress. digital implementation. In particular, the construction of this digital data warehouse requires a specific and synchronous plan at all levels of implementation, to avoid spontaneous development leading to time, effort and financial waste.

Solutions for the digital transformation journey of the education sector:

Currently, there are many solutions that have been proposed to apply to the digital transformation process in the education industry, in which, some of the main solutions being targeted can be mentioned as:

- Implement and apply an educational model that integrates science, technology, engineering, mathematics and art, business, and enterprise (STEM/STEAM/STEAM education) into the training program.
- Training skills in using information technology, ensuring information security at all levels.
- Conduct training, vocational training so that pupils, students as well as teachers or officials in schools and educational organizations have skills ready for the digital environment.
- Providing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCS) to all citizens, in order to improve access to education through digital technology, training to enhance digital skills.

Using digital technology to be able to assign and self-assess homework, as well as check student preparation before class. Using technology for education towards personalization for each object.

Technology Trends

Technology trends being applied in the education industry:

  • - Many technologies and their applications are being introduced in the education industry. Applying cloud computing technology makes it easy and secure to store and share learning materials, and at the same time, increase the ability and reach of documents without additional costs or time pressure. . Besides, it can be mentioned the popularity of e-learning online learning platform, which allows students to study remotely, helping learners save time as well as be more active in learning about the subject. both time and space.

Online learning software application

  • - Another learning application that is also attracting much attention today is virtual training using AR/VR/MR technology. This learning model gives students the most intuitive learning experience, helping to grasp knowledge faster and easier than traditional forms of training. The development of AI technology and machine learning are also applied in supporting training activities.
  • - A practical example in the application of technology, specifically here AI, is an application called Bakpax. This app can help teachers to perform live assignment, assessment and grading. Bakpax uses AI technology to read handwriting from students' work and automatically grade and convert that content to digital form, saving teachers time and providing students with Quick feedback on your work.
