Recent discussions in Vietnam’s education sector have focused heavily on AI. The greatest challenge is not technology or policy, but the mindset for application. AI is not just about solving problems or summarizing texts. It is reshaping how the younger generation approaches knowledge and solves problems. Countries that integrate AI early will gain a significant human resource advantage within 5–10 years. However, the boundary between “mastering AI” and “depending on AI” is extremely thin—let alone the infrastructure gap between regions. Are teachers and curricula keeping pace with technological advancements? Will AI propel Vietnam’s education to a leap forward, or merely remain a passing trend?
