(HBO) - Promoting digital transformation and information technology (IT) application are key tasks in the education-training renewal roadmap of Hoa Binh, contributing to the implementation of the digital transformation strategy of the province for 2021-25, with a view to 2030.
The Cao Phong town secondary school (Cao Phong
district) houses modern equipment for learning foreign languages and
Informatics, helping raise efficiency of digital transformation in the
education sector.
Under the strategy, the education sector will
develop a remote teaching and learning platform; apply digital technology in
management, teaching and learning; and digitalise materials and study plans,
among others.
The province is working to have all educational
establishments roll out remote learning and test a training programme which
allows students to study online 20 percent of the curriculum at the minimum.
The education sector over the years has paid due
attention to mobilise resources to kickstart digital transformation. It has
carried out concerted and practical measures in infrastructure investment and
building digital database and training for staff, and more.
The provincial Department of Education-Training
signed cooperation agreements with telecom corporations like VNPT and Viettel.
With support from The Dariu Foundation, computer science and programming along
with STEM/STEAM have been introduced in kindergartens and high schools, earning
positive results.
In the 2020-21 academic year, about 5,000
children aged 4-6 of the 53 kindergartens gained access to computer science.
Nearly 200 programming and STEM clubs were set up at schools and over 3,000
teachers received relevant training.
Last year, Dariu Foundation presented 400
laptops, 65 desktops, 30 tablets and 945 smartphones to Hoa Binh schools.
Various products and projects have been built and won prizes at prestigious
international IT contests.
Head of the IT group of the provincial
Education-Training Department Bui Ngoc Lam said the province has started to
utilise online teaching tools in tandem with COVID-19 prevention and control
measures. Amid complex developments of the pandemic, online teaching has been
bolstered and become essential to adapt to a new normal and speed up digital
transformation in the sector, he added.
The education-training sector will join hands
with FPT Group to build a smart education ecosystem project meeting
requirements for digital transformation in the field, as part of a partnership
between the Hoa Binh People’s Committee and FPT on digital transformation in
