Hanoi cooperates with Google to expand schools applying artificial intelligence

On the afternoon of August 13, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training held a conference to review the pilot program "Google Digital School" and signed a memorandum of understanding with Asia Creative Education Joint Stock Company (AI Education) - a fully authorized partner of Google for Education in Vietnam.

Speaking at the conference, Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training Tran The Cuong said: In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the strong development of artificial intelligence (AI), digital transformation has become an urgent requirement. The Hanoi Department of Education and Training is committed to strongly applying information technology so that all students can access high-quality, international-standard education.

Mr. Tran The Cuong shared that the “Google Digital School” model was conceived when a delegation from the Hanoi Department of Education and Training visited Google Education in Sydney, Australia. From that trip, the Department proposed bringing this model to Vietnam to create a strong shift in teaching and learning methods, so that every day at school for teachers and students is a happy, effective and exciting day.

After that, the "Google Digital School" model was piloted at Xuy Xa Secondary School (formerly My Duc district, now Hong Son commune) and Nguyen Huy Tuong Secondary School (formerly Dong Anh district, now Dong Anh commune), suburban schools of Hanoi from the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year.

The pilot results showed that 100% of teachers were satisfied and said that it significantly saved time in managing, grading and organizing classes; 100% of students were more interested in their lessons; 90% of students commented that the lessons were more interesting. Students' digital skills were significantly improved, while their creativity, self-study and teamwork skills were enhanced.

Based on the pilot results, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training and AI Education agreed to implement cooperation orientations for the 2025-2027 period to create a fundamental transformation in teaching and learning methods, promote the application of technology and artificial intelligence so that all students, even those in disadvantaged areas, can access high-quality, equal and modern education.

During this phase, the two sides will jointly train 100,000 teachers according to Google's global standards, of which 30,000 teachers will be trained in the Google Gemini artificial intelligence application. The two sides will build a centralized data platform and replicate the "Google Digital School" model; focusing on supporting the provision of learning devices for students.

The Hanoi Department of Education and Training and AI Education will also organize a workshop on artificial intelligence in education to update trends, share experiences, and build a personalized digital learning resource for teaching and learning.

The Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training affirmed the determination of the entire sector in building an open, flexible, integrated education system, strongly applying technology to improve the quality and effectiveness of teaching and learning, towards international standards, contributing to the digital transformation process of the capital's education sector.

To achieve this goal, in the 2025-2026 school year, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training will focus on improving digital capacity for teachers and students; promoting investment in building smart and modern technical infrastructure and replicating digital school models, and enhancing the application of artificial intelligence.
