Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has approved a national program on protecting and supporting children in the digital environment for the 2026–2030 period.
The program aims to strengthen child protection while promoting healthy development and enhancing digital competencies, contributing to the formation of a new generation of digital citizens amid the country’s ongoing digital transformation.
Key pillars of the program include a strengthened legal framework on cybersecurity and child protection, a unified nationwide communication and education strategy, and the widespread deployment of cybersecurity solutions to help manage children’s online activities and safeguard them in the digital space. It also emphasizes digital skills education, counseling services, and smart support solutions for children.
In addition, the program calls for improved coordination among relevant agencies and the development of children’s “proactive immunity” through education on online safety knowledge and skills.
During the 2026–2030 period, Vietnam targets 100% of general education institutions to implement cybersecurity solutions, while all internet service providers will be required to integrate tools to block harmful content.
All localities are expected to develop technological solutions to support digital skills education and provide smart counselling and assistance for children.
The program also ensures that all children who are victims of online abuse receive timely support and intervention upon request from themselves, their families, or the community.
