Vietnam launches 2026-2027 school year with nationwide focus

Overview

Vietnam has officially commenced the 2026-2027 academic year, marked by nationwide opening ceremonies involving approximately 27 million students and teachers. A central ceremony was held at the Muong Khuong Boarding School in Lao Cai province, attended by Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng. The Prime Minister emphasized that this year marks a breakthrough period for educational quality following the 14th Party Congress, urging the sector to pursue “substantive reform within every classroom” and prioritize qualitative breakthroughs, practical skills, and modernized digital management systems.

A major theme of this academic year is a significant administrative reorganization aimed at optimizing resources. This includes school mergers and network restructuring, such as in Hanoi, where the public education system was reorganized to 1,093 units, and in Can Tho, where secondary and high schools were merged. In Ha Tinh province, authorities are implementing similar restructuring measures, including the reassignment of 14 high school principals. Recent reports from Ha Tinh indicate that over 390,000 teachers and students across 235 schools participated in opening ceremonies.

Infrastructure expansion is being prioritized in border communes and areas with significant ethnic minority populations to reduce educational disparities. In Dien Bien province, the Si Pa Phin multi-level boarding school was commissioned with an investment exceeding 220 billion dôngs, designed to accommodate more than one thousand students. Additionally, cultural elements have emerged during the transition; for instance, Bùi Quốc Khái Primary School in Hanoi held a cultural program featuring artist Văn Thao, who shared stories regarding the life of his father, the late composer Văn Cao.
