The STEM education practice lab program is being implemented in 103 schools across 34 provinces and cities nationwide. In Quang Ninh , the program is being implemented in three schools: Trong Diem Secondary School (Ha Long Ward), Cam Pha High School, and Uong Bi High School, with a total construction cost of over 10 billion VND, funded by the Vietnam National Energy and Industry Corporation.
Each STEM education lab, ranging from 80 to 120 m², is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), smart sensors, and programming tools, meeting the learning and practice needs of up to 35 students per class along with a supervising teacher.

According to the Department of Education and Training, the program contributes to a breakthrough in reforming teaching methods, shifting strongly from theoretical teaching to practical, experiential learning. The STEM room is a space for teachers and students to implement STEM/STEAM activities, helping to transform knowledge into practical, engaging projects; while promoting interdisciplinary teaching, developing creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Cong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, stated: Quang Ninh province has clearly defined the task of reforming general education, improving the quality of teaching and learning, and strengthening STEM education, digital literacy, foreign languages, and creative skills for students from the foundational level. In this context, STEM education is not an isolated goal, but an important method to realize the fundamental reform of general education, contributing to the development of high-quality human resources from an early age.
The STEM classrooms inaugurated today are open learning spaces that help students learn through experience, practice, and research; connecting knowledge with solving practical problems in life, production, and innovation. This is also the first step in concretizing the province's policy outlined in Resolution No. 05-NQ/TU dated December 9, 2025, of the Provincial Party Committee on the direction and tasks for 2026, with the goal of having 50% of schools in the province equipped with STEM classrooms by September 2026.
To ensure that STEM classrooms are truly effective, the comrade suggested that the Department of Education and Training effectively utilize STEM classrooms, linking them with innovative teaching methods, enhancing experiential learning, practical application, and scientific research. Alongside this, emphasis should be placed on training teachers, improving their capacity to organize STEM activities, their digital skills, and their innovative capabilities to meet the demands of digital transformation in education. In particular, strengthening connections with businesses, higher education institutions, and research institutes is crucial to gradually fostering an open educational environment, contributing to the development of the province's innovation ecosystem starting from the school level.
On this occasion, Petrovietnam awarded 90 scholarships to students from 3 schools, each worth 3 million VND, to encourage their studies and motivate them to actively participate in innovative activities.
