Rapidly build 100 international standard STEM labs by 2025

Speaking at the Conference, Mr. Tran Quang Dung, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the Vietnam National Energy Industry Group, said that from the idea of General Secretary To Lam, the Vietnam National Energy Industry Group proposed to implement the STEM Innovation Petrovietnam program, a large-scale educational project, aiming to upgrade educational infrastructure, support the training of young generations with science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills, meeting the requirements of developing high-quality human resources of the country in the new period.

Mr. Tran Quang Dung, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Vietnam National Energy and Industry Group, spoke.

The program was launched on September 21, 2025 and according to plan, within 100 days, by the end of 2025, Petrovietnam will deploy in each province and city 3 STEM classrooms according to international standards, including 2 rooms for high schools and 1 room for middle schools.

Petrovietnam's choice to invest in STEM education , especially the model of 100 STEM practice rooms in 34 provinces and cities, not only has social significance, but is also a strategy for developing future human resources for the country, an action demonstrating the spirit of "investing in the future with knowledge".

STEM classrooms will become centers of knowledge dissemination, both a place for students to experience STEM levels and an "incubator" to train core teachers, creating a ripple effect to tens of thousands of schools nationwide.

Ms. Vu Thi Thu Huong, Deputy Head of Communications and Corporate Culture Department, Vietnam National Energy Industry Group, informed about the progress of the program implementation.

Regarding the progress of the program implementation, Ms. Vu Thi Thu Huong, Deputy Head of the Department of Communications and Corporate Culture, Vietnam National Energy Industry Group, said that as of December 2, 2025, 14 STEM rooms have been completed and handed over to the school; 28 rooms are undergoing installation; 58 rooms are implementing the final step in the process of selecting suppliers.

It is expected that all 100 STEM rooms in the program will be handed over to schools no later than December 31, 2025.

STEM rooms are designed according to the "lightning-speed - standardization - sustainability" model, fully equipped with advanced equipment such as smart interactive boards, AI-IoT systems, VEX Robotics, 3D printers, CNC cutting machines and experimental sets with energy-environment themes...

Director of General Education Department ( Ministry of Education and Training ) Thai Van Tai shared his opinion at the Conference.

Director of the General Education Department (Ministry of Education and Training) Thai Van Tai shared that adding content on digital transformation, digital capacity, robotics, and STEM to create human resources is one of the key tasks of the education sector.

Petrovietnam accompanies the education sector in building STEM classrooms, a specific and timely action, and is one of the core elements to spread STEM educational solutions to localities and schools in the fastest and most effective way.

According to Mr. Thai Van Tai, implementing STEM education content is a mandatory task in the 2018 general education program. Since 2020, the Ministry of Education and Training has guided the implementation of this activity in schools.

Teachers and schools have the responsibility to research programs and textbooks to develop learning content so that students have the opportunity to experience, think logically, think critically, and cooperate during the implementation process.

Recently, the Ministry of Education and Training also issued a number of additional documents, assigning tasks to localities and educational institutions to spread and promote STEM education activities more strongly in the coming period in accordance with the direction of Resolution No. 57/NQ-TW and Resolution No. 71/NQ-TW of the Politburo to expand STEM-related fields of study from high school level.

From there, create input sources for university-level STEM majors to have high-quality human resources according to the development orientation of the country's science and technology sectors in the coming period.
