This directive is included in Resolution 281/NQ-CP, which outlines the government's action program to implement Resolution 71-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in education and training development.

Under the resolution, the government instructs ministries, governmental agencies, and provincial-level People’s Committees to urgently and effectively implement eight key tasks. Among them is the comprehensive digital transformation of the education and training sector, with a strong emphasis on the widespread application of digital technology and artificial intelligence.

Specifically, the MOET is tasked with coordinating with relevant ministries, agencies, and local authorities to develop a national plan for organizing computer-based high school graduation exams, university admissions exams, vocational education assessments, and large-scale evaluations.

Alongside this, the government has called for the development of a national education and human resources information system, which must be integrated with labor market and employment databases, as well as science, technology, and innovation data from educational institutions.

The MOET must also propose a plan to encourage and mobilize the participation of businesses and higher education institutions in training teachers and students in digital competencies and artificial intelligence. All of these goals are to be achieved by 2026.

In addition, the MOET is responsible for drafting a decree on the management of educational and training data, in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and other relevant bodies. This includes the development of a nationwide digital database of academic transcripts and diplomas, linked to citizens' unique identification codes. This digital infrastructure is to be completed by 2025.
