As artificial intelligence and digital technology rapidly reshape modern life, Da Nang is putting digital transformation in education at the forefront—prioritizing the enhancement of digital capacity for both teachers and pupils as a critical step toward elevating the quality of education and fostering innovation in the classroom.
According to a BaoDanang.com report, Nguyen Luong Bang Junior High School in Lien Chieu District, students are seen actively using tech devices during STEM practice lessons—part of the district’s ongoing investment in modern educational models. Since late 2024, the locality has been proactively building digital classrooms, STEM practice rooms, and digital libraries, while simultaneously equipping schools with advanced learning tools. These moves aim to create a smart, tech-forward learning environment that helps students access knowledge in a dynamic and interactive way.
To ensure effective use of these resources, Lien Chieu’s education sector has also been focused on improving teachers’ digital competence. Through coordinated training courses, educators are learning how to maximize the use of modern scientific and technical tools in the classroom.
“Modern equipment is extremely helpful in making lessons more engaging and interactive,” said Ms. Thanh Thi Nhu Quynh, a Natural Science teacher at Nguyen Luong Bang Junior High School. “With improved teaching methods and access to digital tools, students are more excited about learning and are eager to participate.”
In neighboring Hoa Vang District, schools have undergone significant technological upgrades as well. From interactive whiteboards to online teaching platforms, teachers are using technology to better prepare lessons and deliver instruction in new and meaningful ways.
“Our school is committed to integrating IT into daily teaching,” shared Mr. Tran Duc An, Principal of Hoa Son Primary School No. 1. “We encourage teachers to develop digital lesson plans that build students’ capacity and draw on diverse learning resources.”
Teachers are also encouraged to continuously upskill through training courses and video lectures, familiarizing themselves with the latest educational software and teaching platforms. This aligns with the implementation of Vietnam’s 2018 General Education Programme, which emphasizes competency-based education and student-centered learning.
Digital transformation is also influencing how student data is managed. According to Mr. Le Van Hoang, Head of Hoa Vang’s Department of Education and Training, schools have introduced digital tools for administrative tasks, such as electronic scorebooks, student evaluations, and parent communication systems.
“All primary and junior high schools in the district have adopted electronic records and data-sharing tools,” Mr. Hoang said. “This has greatly improved information flow between teachers, administrators, and parents.”
In fact, 100% of students across Hoa Vang now have personal identification codes integrated into the education system, a significant step toward personalized and data-driven learning.
Citywide, the Da Nang Department of Education and Training has outlined a long-term vision for digital transformation. The department has proposed a project focusing on developing a team of tech-savvy teachers and education managers from 2024 to 2028, with a vision through 2030. Central to this effort are training programs that equip teachers with digital skills to support learner-focused teaching methods.
To date, all educational institutions in Da Nang have begun synchronizing student data with the sector’s central database, helping streamline record-keeping, enrollment, and student assessment.
Looking ahead, the Department will continue to promote the use of technology in all aspects of teaching and school administration under a broader plan to enhance IT applications from 2022 to 2025, with continued efforts extending to 2030.
As Da Nang embraces the future of education, the city is proving that digital transformation isn’t just about devices—it’s about empowering both teachers and students to thrive in a connected, AI-driven world.
