Formerly known as Tu Thu Camp (1950) and Tu Thu Board (1956) under the Ministry ofEducation , Vietnam Education Publishing House has developed remarkably, becoming the largest publishing house in the country with nearly 40 member companies and contributed capital.
Textbooks published by Vietnam Education Publishing House in the period 1957-1980
Throughout its operation, Vietnam Education Publishing House has always been a pioneer in compiling, editing, designing, printing and publishing textbooks, promptly meeting the requirements of educational reform and innovation under the direction of the Party, the State and the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET).
Milestones in curriculum and textbook innovation
The first innovation (1956 - 1975) changed the education system from 9 years to 10 years.

Textbooks of the two book series "Connecting knowledge with life" and "Creative horizons"
In the fourth innovation, textbooks are compiled according to the 2018 General Education Program of the Ministry of Education and Training with the motto "one program, many textbooks" and the policy of socializing textbooks. Vietnam Education Publishing House enters a new phase - publishing textbooks according to market mechanisms.
As a state-owned enterprise, the Publishing House operates based on market principles, must be financially autonomous and borrow from banks to ensure resources, progress and product quality. However, the Vietnam Education Publishing House still has to strictly comply with regulations on procurement and bidding, which sometimes affects production progress compared to private enterprises.
With the spirit of being proactive, overcoming difficulties and always promoting product quality, the leadership and staff of Vietnam Education Publishing House have united and been creative to face challenges and compete healthily.
