This advanced education program is stipulated in Circular No. 22/2025/TT-BGDDT recently issued by the Ministry of Education and Training , effective from October 15.

Accordingly, this advanced education program is a program of 15 specialized subjects being implemented at specialized high schools across the country, including: literature, math, history, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, information technology, English, German, Russian, French, Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

Specifically, from October 15, specialized schools across the country will teach specialized subjects according to this advanced education program.

Of which, the compulsory teaching time of specialized subjects according to the advanced education program is as follows: literature and mathematics: 70 periods/school year; history, geography, physics, chemistry, biology and informatics: 52 periods/school year; English, German, Russian, French, Chinese, Korean and Japanese: 70 periods/school year.

Advanced education programs in specialized subjects with compulsory content and compulsory elective content account for about 20% of the duration of the advanced education program.

This Circular also states that the subject content contains topics that approach national and international content of interest, meeting the requirements of key training, selecting talents, and responding to national and international competitions for excellent students.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, the Circular was issued to meet the requirements of discovering and nurturing students with talent and passion for specialized fields, while at the same time concretizing the orientation of developing key education in the spirit of Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in education and training development, Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW on fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education and training, the 2019 Education Law and the 2018 General Education Program.

On the other hand, in the context of the country promoting innovation, digital transformation and deep international integration, the development of high-quality human resources, especially talented and highly qualified human resources, becomes urgent.

The issuance of a clearly oriented advanced education program is the foundation for ensuring quality, consistency and long-term strategic orientation for key education. This is also a necessary step to standardize, improve quality and ensure equity in specialized education nationwide.

Before October 15, specialized schools across the country invested in building their own specialized programs for each subject. Although these were efforts by specialized schools and provinces and cities, this did not ensure consistency in teaching organization between localities and schools in key education, nor did it meet the requirements for developing key education in the context of innovation.
