HANOI: From the 2026–27 school year, Vietnam will move to a single, uniform set of textbooks for general education nationwide, a shift the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) says will cut costs, improve equity and bring greater stability to classrooms from grade 1 to grade 12.
The decision has swiftly won broad support from schools, teachers and parents. Beyond easing the financial burden of buying new books, it is seen as ensuring equal access to knowledge, allowing pupils across the country to study the same coherent content throughout their schooling.
