Vietnam digital transformation in education and health
Overview
Vietnam is advancing digital integration across various public sectors. In October 2026, the government approved a project to establish a National Digital Learning Materials System for general education. This initiative, signed by Deputy Prime Minister Lê Tiến Châu, aims to create a unified, state-managed digital infrastructure to provide standardized and free resources to all students and teachers, with a specific focus on supporting mountainous areas, ethnic minority regions, and individuals with disabilities.
In the same month, Lao Cai province began piloting the SchoolFoodSafe Map, a digital platform intended to increase transparency in school meal safety. The system allows parents to monitor food origins and processing for nearly 200,000 students by integrating GPS coordinates, daily menus, and supplier information. This digital approach replaces paper-based logging to improve traceability in the food inspection process.
