Sustainable consumption is moving towards a green era:
Businesses need a technological boost.
In the context of increasingly complex climate change and dwindling natural resources, "greening" production and consumption has become an inevitable trend.
In 2023, Vinamilk's "green" journey was highlighted through the announcement of its roadmap to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, with the action program "Vinamilk Pathway to Dairy Net Zero 2050".
From a business perspective, Le Thi Hong Nhi, Deputy General Director of Communications and External Affairs at Unilever Vietnam, shared that Unilever hopes the government will utilize environmental funds to invest in modern recycling technology and implement policies to encourage businesses to use recycled materials in their products and packaging.
According to Nguyen Thi Bich Huong, Head of Communications at the Vietnam Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (VINASME), VINASME is developing its own ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance Standards) criteria for small and medium-sized enterprises. Technology is key to realizing ESG goals.
"9+ Program" - More opportunities for students after middle school
In Hanoi, by the 2025-2026 school year, approximately 64% of junior high school graduates will be eligible to attend public high schools. The remaining students will be streamed into private schools, continuing education centers, or vocational schools and colleges to study both vocational skills and general education (referred to as the 9+ program).
According to Tran The Cuong, Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, following the 2025-2026 10th grade entrance exam, the number of students and parents seeking advice at vocational schools and continuing education centers enrolling in the 9+ program has increased significantly. Statistics from vocational education institutions show that the employment rate for graduates of the 9+ program has exceeded 70% in recent years.
The Department of Education and Training continues to coordinate with junior high schools and communes/wards to organize early career guidance counseling to widely disseminate information about the 9+ program to students and parents of graduating junior high school students.

Marking Vietnamese culture on the global music map
The trend of incorporating elements of folk culture and art into contemporary music is not only "booming" domestically but is also gradually spreading internationally.
In recent days, singer Phuong My Chi has attracted attention on the international stage by participating in Sing!Asia. What makes Phuong My Chi stand out is the way she incorporates Vietnamese identity into each of her performances.
As for conductor Dong Quang Vinh, 10 years ago, he established the New Vitality Folk Orchestra to spread traditional music in modern life as well as introduce and promote Vietnamese music to the world.
The official release of the album "Ve Kinh Bac" on digital music platforms marks an important turning point in the journey of connecting heritage with the new era of Artist Ngo Hong Quang.
