Vietnam plans for universal preschool education by 2030, the government announced on Thursday. A new decree says the country will invest more in school buildings and classrooms while also pulling resources from the private sector and non‑profits to expand preschool facilities.
By 2030, every kindergarten in Vietnam should be a permanent building with full indoor and outdoor play areas, a library, classrooms, a kitchen, restrooms and clean water. The decree also requires that public preschools stop collecting tuition. Since September, parents no longer pay for their children in public kindergartens, and private schools receive partial support from the government.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said at a national conference that the government will create a national scholarship fund. He added that the state budget will boost spending on education to accelerate “human resource training” and close talent gaps in science, engineering and technology.
The launch of the new academic year saw more than 26 million students—from kindergarten to university—and 1.6 million teachers attend opening ceremonies nationwide. The Ministry of Education and Training organised a virtual event that reached 52,000 schools across the country.
The party’s Central Committee secretary‑general To Lam joined the doors‑opening ceremony, urging the country to leave no child behind. He highlighted a need to raise funds for school meals, teacher salaries and digital learning tools.
These steps mark a major push toward inclusive preschool education, free public kindergartens and a stronger scholarship system that aims to keep Vietnamese children ahead in a rapidly changing world.
