At the conference, delegates heard a report summarizing the first five years of implementing the project and the two years of implementing the emulation movement, comprehensively evaluating the implementation results, identifying shortcomings, limitations, causes, and lessons learned in the organization and implementation.

The report shows that the city continues to firmly maintain its targets for universal education , literacy eradication, and the development of a network of community learning facilities; strengthens the application of digital transformation; widely promotes the movement of encouraging learning and talent among the people; and has been recognized by UNESCO as a member of the Global Learning Cities Network.

By May 2025, 85% of the working-age population will have acquired basic information literacy and technology skills; 27% of the population will have a university degree or higher, more than double the target set.

The effectiveness of digital transformation in educational institutions has yielded positive results. Specifically, 100% of universities have implemented digital universities and developed digital learning materials; 98% of general education institutions have implemented management and teaching in a digital environment; and 60% of continuing education institutions have implemented teaching and learning in a digital environment...

These results confirm that Ho Chi Minh City has completed and exceeded most of the digital transformation targets in the education sector by 2025, becoming the leading locality nationwide in terms of speed and scale of digital education implementation.
