In recent years, military academies and schools have developed 32 standardized training programs at various levels of military higher education, including 17 undergraduate, six master’s, and nine doctoral programs. Currently, five foreign languages, English, Russian, Chinese, Lao, and Khmer, are taught at these institutions, with English and Russian serving as the two primary languages. Since 2020, a foreign language (either English or Russian, depending on the field of study) has been a required subject for graduation examinations. Meanwhile, IT has been incorporated into the curricula of all training groups across military academies and schools, focusing on equipping learners with basic IT knowledge and skills, as well as content related to digital transformation and e-government.

General Nguyen Tan Cuong speaks at the event. |
In his remarks, General Nguyen Tan Cuong emphasized that, in order to implement the motto “The training quality of schools reflects the combat readiness of units,” and to enhance the quality of education and training, military academies and schools must coordinate with relevant agencies to complete the standardized training programs for all levels of military higher education by June 15.
The Department of Military Training and School Management has been tasked with drafting a directive from the Minister of National Defense on strengthening training in foreign languages, IT, and digital transformation, with completion targeted for mid-July. A shared digital learning resource platform, including materials for both in-person and online teaching and learning of foreign languages and IT via the military data transmission network, is scheduled to be implemented and completed by September.
Additionally, the Military Science Academy and the Military Technical Academy are to work together to compile textbooks, instructional materials, and electronic lectures in specialized English, Russian, languages of neighboring countries, and IT/digital transformation. They are also to establish a model classroom, with all work to be completed by August.
General Cuong also called for enhanced coordination among educational management agencies at all levels, military units and schools, and between military schools and other educational institutions both within and outside the military. He also stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation between schools, families, and local authorities in educational and training activities. The application of IT and digital transformation should be further promoted to improve the efficiency of educational management and school administration.
