Resolution 71-NQ/TW of the Politburo on educational breakthroughs mentions the task of comprehensive digital transformation, popularization and strong application of digital technology and artificial intelligence in management and organization of educational activities at all levels nationwide.
The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) assesses that in the new context, AI education plays a key role in helping students develop their ability to receive, expand knowledge and be creative in the digital world. AI education helps students adapt and integrate into modern society, forming and developing AI capacity to apply in study, work...
The Ministry of Education and Training plans to pilot the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) content into the general education program (grades 1-12) from December 2025. The Ministry will also pilot the application of AI in education management, support teachers in lesson preparation, innovate testing and assessment, and contribute to improving teaching and learning effectiveness.
Need a systematic program, not a passive approach
Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang, School of Information and Communication Technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, said that this is a necessary policy and should be implemented early so that students are properly oriented from the beginning and know how to use AI appropriate to their age.
"If we do not include it in school teaching, students may have passive access to AI, which may be unstandardized, incorrect, and unsystematic. Because if students passively receive information while not being equipped with the necessary knowledge such as AI usage skills, sense of responsibility, ability to protect personal information, or how to properly apply AI in learning and life, they can easily misuse it, deviate from it, and not develop comprehensively. Therefore, teacher guidance is very important for students," said Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang.
According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang, first of all, the content of teaching AI in schools for primary school students needs to be at a basic level. Schools teach students to understand the operating principles of AI. Teachers can express in many different ways for each level of education. At primary and secondary school levels, students often ask questions about why AI can do so, so understanding the operating principles will arouse students' interest, thereby helping them develop good intelligence.
The second important thing is to teach students how to use AI. They need to know how to distinguish between correct answers and incorrect information, because without this skill, students can easily assume that all content generated by AI is correct. Therefore, the education sector needs to build a program to guide students on how to check the accuracy of answers, how to find information to compare or look up appropriate reference materials.
AI is an inevitable trend
In response to parents' concerns about the use of AI causing children to be lazy in thinking, dependent, and even cheating in their studies, Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang said that this concern is correct. "Not only children, but also adults are likely to be dependent on AI in thinking and problem solving. For young people, the abuse of AI will reduce their ability and affect their development and problem-solving thinking. Therefore, it is important and necessary for the education sector to properly incorporate AI into teaching and learning."
According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang, students are in the age group that needs to develop strongly in brain, thinking and knowledge acquisition ability. Therefore, to be able to teach AI properly in schools, the education sector needs to have serious investment in building lesson plans and training teachers.
The education sector needs to clarify so that students understand: "AI does not support problem solving, students must solve problems themselves. AI only supports the learning process. In addition, in assessing students' abilities, teachers need to have appropriate assessment methods. For example, open assessment - students can use AI and how will teachers assess how students develop their thinking? At the same time, schools need to have closed assessments - students think for themselves, are not allowed to use AI, solve problems themselves, and remember knowledge. When using both assessment methods like this, I believe that using AI can help students develop well and strongly," Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang shared.
Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang affirmed: "AI is an inevitable trend. Instead of rejecting it and seeing its disadvantages... we should find ways to use it properly."
Emphasizing the important role of bringing AI into schools, Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang affirmed: "Guiding students is the school's responsibility. Therefore, when bringing AI into the curriculum, especially at the primary level, the education sector must have a systematic roadmap to ensure consistency, no gaps between levels, no repetition or repetition at a higher level.
Not only children, adults also have the ability to depend on AI in thinking and problem solving.
However, the role of family in education cannot be denied. For the exercises assigned by teachers, teachers have a plan to evaluate whether students use AI to answer or not, and if so, how they use it... need the support of families in supporting and controlling the use of electronic devices.
"Students need to understand the regulations on use, not to abuse AI; not to depend on electronic devices, AI outside of school, they need the companionship of their family" - Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang commented.
The doctor believes that to effectively implement the above policy, the education sector should absorb and refer to existing documents. "Some countries in the world have developed courses, complete documents, research for each level of education and have textbooks, lectures... all of which are open for free for everyone to refer to. We can refer to, use this source of documents and can adjust to suit the conditions of our country."
The education sector should not rush to bring AI into schools from the primary level. In particular, there needs to be a roadmap to ensure consistency and systematization in education. The most important thing is that we need to have a correct understanding of artificial intelligence. Bringing AI into schools should not follow trends or achievements. If we use AI incorrectly, it will create disadvantages, especially for students. When the understanding is correct, this policy will be implemented properly and solve all the problems that countries have encountered, Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang proposed.
The AI education content framework for students is developed based on 4 main knowledge streams, corresponding to 4 competency domains, including: Human-centered thinking; AI ethics; AI techniques and applications; AI system design.
