Mr. Tran Van An, Principal of Hai Nam Secondary School, said: "From practical experience, the application of digital transformation is creating many positive changes for the school, creating a very tight system from management to teaching, especially enhancing the creativity and proactive learning abilities of students. Digital transformation has helped transform tasks that seemed difficult and impossible in the traditional teaching environment into easy and enjoyable tasks for both teachers and students. In addition, digital transformation has helped staff, teachers, and students gradually access a modern and advanced educational environment in line with the spirit of Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW on fundamental and comprehensive reform of education and training. For the school, the conversion to digital records has saved on printing costs, space, and storage (insecticide, packaging, cabinets, etc.)." Digital transformation helps the school administration effectively manage and direct activities such as: personnel management, planning, quality management, financial management, facilities and equipment management, and building and promoting the school's brand. Thanks to digital transformation, the school administration has fully and effectively participated in the training modules for school administrators on the 2018 General Education Program organized by the Ministry of Education and Training in a hybrid online and in-person format. Digital transformation helps teachers innovate teaching methods and assessment methods, improving teaching quality; teachers receive regular training on the 2018 General Education Program through online methods on the LMS system organized by the Ministry of Education and Training. For students, digital transformation helps them learn actively, proactively, and creatively, forming and developing all the competencies and qualities required by the 2018 General Education Program. Students are interested in and enjoy the subjects, contributing to improved academic results.
