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, driven by the implementation of Resolution 71 of the Politburo.~~ 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. Local leaders, including Provincial Party Secretary Nguyễn Duy Lâm and Deputy Permanent Secretary Nguyễn Hồng Lĩnh, attended various events, including the inauguration of a boarding school in a border region, while urging schools to innovate management and teaching methods.
