Hanoi to integrate AI education into all school grades
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Hanoi’s Department of Education and Training plans to teach artificial intelligence to all students in grades one to twelve, starting in the 2026-27 school year.
The program will integrate AI topics into existing daily lessons without adding new subjects or changing required learning outcomes. Hanoi designed the curriculum to work even in schools lacking computer labs or specialized equipment, and it will not require parents to buy extra software or hardware.
The curriculum will focus on four areas of competence: human-centered thinking, AI ethics, AI techniques and applications, and AI system design. Students will learn about issues like data privacy, identifying misinformation, and responsible technology use. The department requires schools to establish rules for AI use and review all AI tools against eight specific criteria before they are used in classrooms. The program will unfold in three phases beginning in August. First, schools will develop plans, train teachers, and prepare lessons.
Next, schools will deliver lessons and establish usage rules. Finally, schools will complete the 12 core AI lessons and organize STEM/AI festivals, with results reported to the Ministry of Education and Training by June 15, 2027. Hanoi expects to train at least 300 core AI teachers across the city.
