Practical and comprehensive effectiveness

Speaking at the recent launch ceremony of the "Popular Education Movement," Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that this must become a revolutionary movement, involving the entire population, comprehensive, all-encompassing, and far-reaching, leaving no one behind. The Party has directed it, the Government has agreed, the National Assembly has concurred, the people support it, and the nation expects it – therefore, we should only discuss how to proceed, not how to retreat.

The importance of digital transformation has been discussed for a long time. This is clearly demonstrated in Resolution No. 52-NQ/TW dated September 27, 2019, of the Politburo on some guidelines and policies for proactively participating in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which emphasizes the urgent need to accelerate the digital transformation process.

Subsequently, on June 3, 2020, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 749/QD-TTg approving the national digital transformation program until 2025, with a vision to 2030. Accordingly, Vietnam aims to become a digital nation, stable and prosperous, pioneering the testing of new technologies and models. This involves fundamental and comprehensive reform of government management and administration, business operations, and the living and working methods of citizens, developing a safe, humane, and widespread digital environment.

Building upon these foundations, just two years later, digital transformation in our country spread to all levels and sectors, showing clear progress and achieving positive results. Specifically, as of September 2024, the national population database ensured data interoperability and connectivity for 18 ministries and 63 localities, serving over 1.3 billion searches and over 537 million data synchronizations.

Nearly 3,000 shared database categories for ministries, sectors, and localities have been issued. The state agencies have deployed an integrated data sharing platform, handling over 81 million transactions per month in 2024. Simultaneously, the VNeID electronic identification application has been implemented, bringing practical benefits to both citizens and state management. Regarding the percentage of online public service applications nationwide, as of November 30, 2024, it reached 45.79%...

In addition, other national databases such as insurance, civil registration, and business registration have become stable and are yielding positive results. The national land database is being actively implemented and piloted for sharing data with the national population database…

Despite achieving such positive results, according to Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh , digital transformation still faces many challenges and limitations. Specifically, the awareness and actions of Party committees, Party organizations, and governments at all levels, especially the leaders, regarding digital transformation remain limited. There is still a prevailing mindset that digital transformation is something that happens elsewhere, for someone else, and not for oneself, one's unit, or agency.

The process of perfecting institutions, mechanisms, and policies is still slow and has not kept pace with the demands of reality. Ministries, departments, and localities basically lack breakthrough projects on digital transformation. The quality and efficiency in providing and using online public services are not high. Many applications and systems have been developed but are still fragmented, incomplete, and have not yet formed many large-scale, shared digital platforms.

Data has been generated, but it remains fragmented, disconnected, and not effectively shared or utilized, posing a risk of information leakage. There is a shortage and uneven distribution of specialized personnel for digital transformation within agencies and organizations. Digital skills are not yet widely disseminated in society.

Therefore, "Digital Literacy for the People" must be a crucial political task, a command from the heart, an intelligent thought from the mind, and a decisive action from every citizen. With the spirit of "going to every street, to every house, guiding every person" and with the motto "Rapid deployment - Widespread connection - Smart application," the movement, in order to "last," must bring practical results, harmonize individual and collective interests, and balance personal interests with the interests of the nation – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized.
