The Ministry of Education and Training has just issued a plan and draft to solicit opinions on guidelines for piloting AI education content in general education.

There are 4 main knowledge streams, suitable for each level of study.

The AI ​​education content framework for students is developed based on 4 main knowledge streams, corresponding to 4 competency domains, complementing each other including: human-centered thinking, AI ethics, AI application techniques, AI system design.

Designing an AI education content framework according to the main knowledge streams, in addition to knowledge about AI, also helps students clearly understand the boundary between using technology and social responsibility, ensuring that AI serves human life safely and humanely.

The content framework is designed to correspond to two educational stages: Basic education stage (including primary and secondary school levels) and career-oriented education stage (high school level).

Elementary level content (familiarization) helps students recognize AI through visual applications (image and voice recognition), understand that AI is created by humans and initially form awareness of protecting personal data.

Secondary school level (basic understanding) helps students understand the operating principles (data, algorithms), practice using AI tools to solve learning problems and identify risks and biases of AI.

High school level (career design and orientation) helps students design simple AI systems, develop complex problem-solving thinking and career orientation in the technology field.

Flexible deployment, no overload

According to the draft, the implementation will not change or overload the general education program. AI educational content and activities will be designed to suit the age psychology, needs and technology accessibility of students at each level and class.

Schools can be proactive in choosing and combining many forms of implementation (integrating into subjects, organizing seminars, learning through projects, clubs, etc.) suitable to practical conditions.

The Ministry of Education and Training also requires localities to maximize available resources and facilities, avoiding scattered and ineffective investments. The Ministry encourages cooperation and socialization to mobilize resources to support expertise, learning materials and practical experiences.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, in December 2025, documents will be developed, core staff will be trained, and a pilot implementation will be implemented at a number of educational institutions. The pilot implementation will be carried out until May 2026 and will be summarized and evaluated to propose widespread implementation.

In parallel with student education, the ministry also piloted AI applications in management, supporting teachers in lesson preparation and innovating assessment methods.
