The Ministry of Education and Training has issued a pilot framework for AI education for high school students.

Accordingly, the AI education content framework for students is developed based on four main knowledge strands, corresponding to four competency domains: human-centered thinking, AI ethics, AI techniques and applications, and AI system design.

The curriculum framework is designed to correspond to two stages of education: the basic education stage (including primary and lower secondary levels) and the vocational education stage (upper secondary level).

At the primary school level, students primarily experience simple, intuitive AI applications to form initial concepts and recognize the role of AI in their lives.

At the middle school level, students learn how to use AI tools to create digital products and solve academic problems.

At the high school level, students are encouraged to explore, design, and improve simple AI tools through science projects.

In addition to core educational content, students can choose elective courses to enhance practical skills, gain deeper insights into AI application areas, or learn programming techniques and AI system development.

During the teaching process, teachers need to apply active teaching methods, focusing on experience, practice, and projects, and linking them to real-world problems. Some content can be taught through discussion, debate, and case studies without the need for computers.

Regarding assessment, for topics focusing on AI applications, emphasis should be placed on evaluating the ability to apply knowledge and skills to create useful applications. For topics related to AI principles and models, emphasis should be placed on assessing creative, logical, and systematic thinking. For content areas such as ethics, data, and law, assessment should combine problem-solving with observing students' attitudes, behaviors, and responsibilities in a digital environment.

The final assessment of each student's AI capabilities should be based on a synthesis of ongoing and periodic assessments, reflecting their progress and the level of achievement required by the program.

To ensure accuracy and objectivity, teachers need to organize presentations, debates, and exhibitions of AI products; encourage students to discuss, debate, and evaluate each other, thereby fostering critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills.

The pilot framework for artificial intelligence education for high school students was issued to implement Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024, of the Politburo on breakthroughs in national science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation; Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW dated August 22, 2025, of the Politburo on breakthroughs in education and training; Resolution No. 281/NQ-CP dated September 15, 2025, of the Government promulgating the Government's Action Program to implement Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW dated August 22, 2025; and Circular No. 02/2025/TT-BGDĐT dated January 24, 2025, of the Minister of Education and Training stipulating the Digital Competency Framework for Learners.
