On December 17, 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), in collaboration with Hanoi University, successfully organized the 2025 National Conference on Educational Sciences.

Overview of the 2025 National Conference on Educational Science
In his opening speech, Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Phuc highly commended the active response from the scientific community, noting the participation of over 150 educational institutions and more than 200 submitted papers.
He emphasized that the coming period requires strong dedication from educational scientists through rigorous, objective, and highly applicable research. This is particularly crucial given the profound impacts of Digital Transformation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Educational Technology (EdTech). These efforts aim to fulfill the goals of Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW of the Politburo, striving for Vietnam to possess a modern, equitable, and high-quality national education system that ranks among the top 20 globally by 2045.
