Encourage students to proactively engage with technology.

On March 19th, the ABAII Unitour 26 program, organized by the ABAII Institute of Blockchain Technology and Artificial Intelligence in collaboration with the Vietnam Blockchain Association (VBA), took place at the University of Education, Hue University, attracting nearly 1,000 students, lecturers, and technology experts.

Nearly 1,000 students, lecturers from Hue, and technology experts attended.

The ABAII Unitour 26 program aims to encourage students to proactively embrace technology and equip themselves with digital skills to adapt to the rapidly changing labor market. In the context of ongoing digital transformation, enhancing technological capabilities will help the younger generation not only seize opportunities but also assert their position in the global digital economy .

In his opening remarks, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hung, Vice Rector of Hue University of Education, affirmed that integrating new technologies into training is an inevitable trend, especially as AI and Blockchain are increasingly present in many professions. The university stated that it will continue to expand cooperation with technology organizations, but also indicated that "caution and a clear roadmap" are still needed in applying these technologies to the curriculum.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hung, Vice Rector of the University of Education, Hue University, delivered the opening remarks for the program.

Regarding the impact of Blockchain on education , Mr. Nguyen Duc Long, Director of Digital Transformation at ABAII Institute, emphasized that this technology is not limited to the field of digital assets but also opens up many opportunities in digitizing degrees and managing learning data transparently and securely.

A Statista survey of 1,280 businesses in 10 countries revealed that 46% of them have already adopted or are in the process of adopting Blockchain technology for identity management and academic certification, indicating a growing trend of this technology's application.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Long, Director of Digital Transformation at ABAII Institute, highlighted the advantages of Blockchain's impact on education.

Educational institutions urgently need to update their technology.

Besides Blockchain, AI also plays a crucial role in educational innovation. Dr. Vo Cong Khoi, Head of the Da Nang Office of the Vietnam Blockchain Association, provided in-depth analysis of AI applications in education and related ethical issues. According to research by the World Economic Forum (WEF), by 2030, approximately 85% of jobs will require digital skills that are not currently widely taught. This places an urgent demand on educational institutions to update their training programs to keep pace with technological developments.

At the discussion session "Applications of Blockchain and AI in the field of education," Mr. Do Viet Cuong, Chief Inspector of Banking Supervision, State Bank of Vietnam Hue Branch, emphasized the importance of updating training programs to keep pace with technological developments in the context of implementing Resolution 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo.

Mr. Do Viet Cuong stated that, in order to develop digital skills, ensure personal information security, and be ready to adapt to new technologies, students need to proactively raise awareness of technological trends and comply with safety regulations in the digital space.

The discussion session "Applications of Blockchain and AI in Education" featured experienced experts from the fields of education, technology, banking, and business.

According to Mr. Cuong, Vietnam can learn from advanced models around the world, such as the blockchain-based online training system in Estonia or personalized AI programs in Singapore, to optimize teaching and learning data management.

Furthermore, establishing a suitable legal framework is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of technology in education, while also ensuring the security and transparency of personal information in the digital environment.

From a business perspective, Thomas Hoang, Chief Operating Officer of TingFoundation, shared that AI is also opening up great opportunities in developing internal training platforms within businesses, especially in enhancing technological skills for employees. “Technology companies like ours need employees who can adapt quickly to new technologies. If AI and Blockchain are systematically integrated into education, students will not only access knowledge but also be trained according to the needs of the labor market, thereby shortening the time it takes to integrate into the workforce,” Mr. Hoang emphasized.

MasterTeck offers over 300 high-quality courses with participation from many leading industry experts, while also supporting distance learning and providing valuable certifications, creating a competitive advantage in the job market.
