The Hanoi Department of Education and Training has just held a Conference to summarize the pilot of the Digital Report Card for Primary School and deploy the Digital Report Card for General Education in the Hanoi City Department of Education and Training for the 2024-2025 school year. The Conference was connected online at the main bridge of the Department of Education and Training with the bridge points of 30 districts, towns and cities and the bridge points of the High School Cluster Leaders.

Reporting on the summary of the pilot work of Digital School Report Cards at primary level and the implementation of Digital School Report Cards at secondary level in the Hanoi Education and Training sector for the 2024-2025 school year, Director of the Department of Education and Training Tran The Cuong said that determining the implementation of Digital School Report Cards as a key task in implementing the tasks of Project 06, the Steering Committee for Administrative Reform, Digital Transformation and Project 06 of Hanoi City has assigned the Department of Education and Training to pilot the implementation of Digital School Report Cards in high schools in the city.

As of June 24, 2024, 27,533/29,093 teachers and staff in primary schools have been equipped with personal digital signatures, reaching a rate of 94.64%; Of which, the rate of units providing shared digital signatures is the Government Cipher Committee 37%, Viettel: 39%, VNPT: 24%.

The results of the pilot implementation of Digital Report Cards in Primary Schools as of July 31, 2024 reached 97.6%. With this achievement rate, the Hanoi Education sector is the leading unit nationwide in the implementation results of Digital Report Cards at the Primary level.

However, the implementation process still has difficulties and problems such as the difficulty in providing personal digital signatures for teachers and staff in private schools. There are costs for digital signatures, equipment infrastructure, storage and operation of the digital student record data system. Teachers must use their personal phones and devices to install digital signature management software. Some types of phones are not compatible with the software, requiring upgrading and replacing equipment. Some teachers still have to pay for the maintenance of digital signature services.

Given the achievements and shortcomings, the Director of the Department proposed that the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Hanoi People's Committee issue a number of revised and supplemented documents to overcome the shortcomings in the implementation process. At the same time, he proposed that the City People's Committee direct support for the Information Technology and Communications Infrastructure to ensure safety and security in order to migrate the Education and Training Sector's Database and the Digital Transcript Receiving Portal so that the digital transformation work can be implemented promptly and synchronously; and support funding for educational institutions to store digital Transcripts.

By the end of July 2024, Hanoi had 97.6% of primary school students in the city issued digital transcripts, leading the country in this result. With 94.6% of primary school staff equipped with personal digital signatures, it has made an important contribution to digitizing educational management processes.

Speaking at the Conference, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee Ha Minh Hai said that the successful implementation of the digital transcript program not only reduces the administrative workload for teachers but also creates favorable conditions for the management and monitoring of students' learning process in a more comprehensive and transparent manner.

Schools manage student information more effectively, helping parents stay on top of their children’s learning. Digital report cards facilitate the implementation of personalized education programs that are tailored to each student’s abilities and needs.

Mr. Ha Minh Hai also noted that the next step is to deploy digital transcripts for high school level. This is one of the important tasks in the process of building and developing the capital, becoming a smart city, where technology is widely applied to improve the quality of life of the people, making Hanoi a place worth visiting and staying, worth living and contributing to...
