The program aimed to improve the effectiveness of academic management, update teaching methods, and move testing and assessment toward developing students’ competencies, in order to best meet the core requirements of the 2018 General Education Program.
The conference was attended by representatives of school leadership and by teachers of all subjects from the upper secondary schools in Cluster 4. In particular, the program was accompanied by the valuable contributions and sharing of experienced experts, lecturers and lead teachers, including:
- Literature: Ms. Trần Thị Hải Quỳ – Teacher, Lý Thường Kiệt High School;

The training was delivered in a synchronized and in-depth manner across all 12 subjects of the 2018 General Education Program, namely: Literature, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, Economics and Law Education, Informatics, National Defense and Security Education, and Physical Education.
The sessions focused on the following content:
- Professional orientation, requirements and key tasks for the 2026–2027 school year.
- Researching and reviewing the structure of gifted-student exams and graduation exam review, and standardizing the required learning outcomes in terms of competencies. Questions and tests are to be designed with greater use of real-life data and differentiated by level of thinking, helping students apply what they have learned flexibly to real situations.
- Strengthening the application of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in management, teaching, lesson design, the building of digital learning resource repositories, and support for testing and assessment. The application of AI is to be carried out in a modern and practical way, aligned with lesson objectives, and in a manner that fully promotes students’ initiative and creativity.
- Making use of suitable digital tools to organize digital classrooms and improve the effectiveness of teaching.
- Integrating digital competence into lesson plans, and using English in subject lessons, thereby contributing to making English a second language in schools.
In addition, the conference set aside time to exchange and share solutions to practical difficulties encountered in teaching, including building exam matrices and specifications, applying information technology, and adjusting teaching methods to suit different groups of students.
The Academic Affairs Conference and Professional Training Session of THPT Cluster 4 took place successfully. It was not only an opportunity for teachers to connect, learn from one another and strengthen their professional knowledge, but also evidence of the proactive spirit and determination to pursue comprehensive reform aimed at improving the quality of education in the upper secondary schools of Cluster 4 in particular, and in the capital’s education sector in general.
