Education innovation meets the needs of lifelong learning
The digital transformation process has created a major turning point for Vietnamese education, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. From situational solutions, technology and online teaching have gradually become an indispensable part of schools, helping to innovate teaching methods, expand learning materials and form lifelong learning capacity for learners.
