The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has issued Decision No. 3439/QĐ-BGDĐ, officially promulgating the Pilot Content Framework for introducing AI into the general education curriculum.
The new content framework is built upon the 2018 General Education Program, referencing UNESCO's AI Competency Framework for students. It aims to help students "know how to use AI" while "knowing how to control AI," using technology for the common good, safety, and humane values.
According to the MOET, the AI education framework for students is developed based on four main knowledge strands, corresponding to four competency domains that are intertwined and complementary: human-centered mindset, AI ethics, AI techniques and applications, and AI system design.
The content framework is designed corresponding to two educational phases: the Basic Education Phase (including primary and secondary levels) and the Career-Oriented Education Phase (upper secondary levels).
In addition to core educational content, students can select elective study topics to enhance practical skills and delve deeper into AI application fields or programming techniques and AI system development.
The AI education framework also sets out criteria for assessment. Accordingly, assessment must be carried out regularly and periodically, requiring close adherence to students' AI competencies. The framework prioritizes the ability to apply knowledge and skills to create useful applied products, while simultaneously evaluating logical thinking, creativity, and the ability to identify and handle risks when working with AI.
