According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, the department stipulates the following forms of STEM education in high schools:

Teaching subjects using STEM lesson plans.

Specifically, STEM-oriented teaching will be implemented in all subjects, closely adhering to the curriculum framework to fulfill the general education program within the prescribed time allocation for each subject. Students will be guided to proactively conduct STEM lessons by researching learning resources to acquire and apply knowledge through activities such as: selecting solutions to problems; practicing design, fabrication, and testing prototypes; sharing, discussing, refining, or adjusting prototypes under the guidance of the teacher.

Organize STEM experiential activities.

Specifically, STEM education is organized through clubs or hands-on experiential activities; these are conducted based on students' interests, talents, and voluntary choices. Schools can organize STEM experiential spaces within the school; STEM classrooms, modern experimental centers, virtual experiments, simulations, and learning software to help students explore and discover experiments and applications of science and technology in real life...

Ensure compliance with regulations on organizing two-session-per-day teaching for general education in the 2025-2026 school year.

The teaching topics are designed with a STEM education approach, emphasizing the integration of knowledge across subjects to solve real-world problems.

Focus on activities that allow students to apply their knowledge to solve problems, propose solutions, design, experiment, and refine, rather than rote memorization.

Strengthening the socialization of investment in appropriate infrastructure and equipment, from simple materials to modern equipment, is crucial for effectively implementing STEM projects and accessing new technologies.
