From the first textbooks that survived the storm of bombs and bullets to the digital education ecosystem in the 4.0 era, the journey of Vietnam Education Publishing House is an epic of dedication and thirst for knowledge.
Bringing the light of knowledge to every corner of the country
Born in the context of the country's many difficulties, Vietnam Education Publishing House has determined for itself an important mission, which is to ensure the full, timely and quality supply of textbooks for students and teachers across the country. Over the past 68 years, Vietnam Education Publishing House has always been the keeper of the fire for the education cause, ensuring that no matter the circumstances, textbooks are still indispensable on the educational path of each generation of Vietnamese people.
This 68-year journey is a strong testament to that perseverance. From the difficult war years, textbooks were printed and secretly transported through war zones and trenches; to the period of national reunification, overcoming all geographical and climatic obstacles to bring knowledge to remote highlands and islands. Vietnam Education Publishing House always strives in every way to ensure that books reach students on the first day of school.
To fulfill this “full and timely” commitment, Vietnam Education Publishing House has built and perfected a huge and professional book printing and distribution system, stretching from North to South. The initiative in every stage, from editing, prepress, printing, to coordination and distribution, has helped the Publishing House flexibly cope with market fluctuations, ensuring stable textbook prices, which is an extremely important factor for social equity in education.
In particular, during the stages of general education program innovation, such as the implementation of the 2018 general education program, Vietnam Education Publishing House has maximized its experience and capacity to successfully complete its tasks, providing hundreds of millions of new textbooks, ensuring smooth teaching and learning nationwide. Ensuring the supply of textbooks is not only a business responsibility but also a political and cultural responsibility, contributing to the stability and sustainable development of the country.

Diversify intellectual products
Not stopping at the role of a textbook supplier, Vietnam Education Publishing House has expanded its vision and diversified its products with the aim of improving people's knowledge and promoting a learning society. Besides textbooks, Vietnam Education Publishing House has also developed many other products with high intellectual content, from high-quality books, e-books, to educational publications such as maps, pictures, discs...
The high-quality book series has created a valuable treasure trove of knowledge, affirming the academic reputation of the Publishing House. Many book series have participated in the Vietnam Book Awards and won prestigious awards such as the Gold and Silver Prizes for Good Books. We can mention the massive and valuable book series such as: Dai Nam Thuc Luc, Vietnam Country and People, Tinh Hoa Van Hoa Phuong Dong, Bac Ho with Education , along with important research and academic works such as the Britannica Encyclopedia (Vietnamese translation), Vietnamese-Lao Dictionary, Lao-Vietnamese Dictionary...
The publication of these books not only enriches the country's cultural and academic life but also has a profound influence on society. A typical example is the launch of the book series "La Son Yen Ho Hoang Xuan Han " (3 volumes) in 1999, which was voted one of the 10 outstanding cultural events of the country that year. The most recent achievement is the book series "Hello Vietnamese" (volumes 1 and 2) which won the A Prize - National Book Award in 2023, affirming the editorial capacity and outstanding content value of the Vietnam Education Publishing House.
In order to honor and spread the ideology of President Ho Chi Minh, the founder of modern education in Vietnam, in 2025, the Vietnam Education Publishing House promptly launched two valuable books: "Uncle Ho in Thailand" (Vietnamese-Thai bilingual) and "Uncle is Ho Chi Minh". The book "Uncle Ho in Thailand" was introduced by the Vietnam Education Publishing House in coordination with the Vietnamese Consulate General in Khon Kaen (Thailand) at the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site in Udon Thani. The event not only has profound educational significance for the younger generation about Uncle Ho's life and career but also contributes to fostering the good and strong traditional friendship between the two peoples of Vietnam and Thailand.
These high-quality books with lasting value, spreading power, contributing to improving people's knowledge have been affirming the brand and increasingly high reputation of Vietnam Education Publishing House in the hearts of the public.

Caring for education in mountainous and ethnic minority areas
In addition to national book projects, Vietnam Education Publishing House always pays special attention to education in mountainous areas and ethnic minority areas, considering this an inseparable part of its educational mission. Over the past 68 years, ethnic books have always been cared for and invested in.
Many sets of books for learning ethnic languages have been compiled and published, including Mong, Khmer, Thai, Bahnar, Cham and many other languages. Textbooks for teaching ethnic languages, Vietnamese language books for ethnic students, and bilingual reference books have become valuable tools.
These publications have a double meaning: On the one hand, they help generations of ethnic minority students learn better the common language, master knowledge to develop personality, intelligence, and strive to become useful citizens for their homeland and country. On the other hand, they are also means, a handbook to preserve and develop the identity and cultural traditions of the nation. Preserving the language through books is a contribution to the cause of education and sustainable development of mountainous areas and ethnic minority areas, ensuring that no one is left behind on the journey to access knowledge.

In that context, the role of Vietnam Education Publishing House becomes even more important, not only making books but also building an ecosystem of learning materials; not standing on the podium but present in every classroom; not directly conveying lessons but the pages of books we create become tools to help teachers convey knowledge and inspire.
"Each textbook and each set of published documents is not simply a product of a professional process; they are the result of collective intelligence, the crystallization of effort, responsibility and the belief that every child deserves a fair opportunity to learn," Mr. Nguyen Tien Thanh emphasized.
