In the context of strong digital transformation globally, Vietnamese education faces the need for more extensive innovation, not only in programs, methods or technology, but first at the foundation level - that is, establishing an educational philosophy suitable for the times.

At a scientific conference on educational philosophy in the digital age organized by the National Council for Education and Human Resource Development, Permanent Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong emphasized that Vietnamese education has accumulated many values from history, tradition and innovation practices over the past decades. These results create an important foundation for building a philosophy suitable for the new development period. However, the current technological landscape poses many challenges that education cannot stand aside from. The popularity of artificial intelligence and rapid changes in labor and learning models force education to answer the question: what and how do people need to learn to survive and develop in a constantly changing world. Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong emphasized that educational philosophy in the digital age must go deep into the nature of learning. Education cannot only focus on imparting knowledge, but must prioritize teaching learners how to think, how to ask questions, how to learn effectively and the ability to self-study and self-improve. When technology can provide information faster than any book, the ability to analyze, evaluate, and use knowledge is the decisive factor. Educational philosophy must therefore aim to develop people comprehensively, with independent thinking, adaptability, creativity and maintaining cultural identity and moral qualities in a volatile environment. No matter how strongly developed technology is, it is just a tool. An important requirement is that the philosophy of education in the digital age must always put people at the center. Technology, no matter how powerful it is, is just a tool. We cannot use technology as the goal of educational development, and we cannot let education follow the superficial glamor of digital transformation. RELATED NEWS When discussing technology in education, the most important thing is not how many digital platforms are used, but how technology helps learners develop, how it helps teachers innovate and how effectively it helps schools operate. A healthy education must maintain humanity and attach importance to the harmonious development of intelligence and personality. In professional exchanges, many experts also warn about the risk of losing the true purpose of education if we only focus on technology without understanding the nature of learning. Some argue that excessive digitalization or the expectation that technology will replace education can create the illusion of progress. Education, no matter what era, is a process that influences people, nurtures thinking, encourages discovery and forms core qualities. Therefore, the educational philosophy must be clear enough to guide all innovation activities, ensuring that technology only plays a supporting role and does not distort the goals. Another point emphasized is that the educational philosophy in the digital age must promote an open and flexible learning ecosystem. When knowledge changes rapidly, when new skills continuously appear, education cannot be limited to the framework of school or to fixed stages of life. The new philosophy must therefore emphasize lifelong learning, creating conditions for everyone to have the opportunity to access knowledge and improve capacity at any time. This requires the education system to be interconnected, expand, and create mechanisms to help learners choose appropriate paths and easily adapt to change. In an era where artificial intelligence gradually participates in many labor and even creative processes, educational experts affirm that educational philosophy must stand firmly on a humanistic foundation. Technology has no emotions, no ethics and cannot replace human values. Therefore, education must attach importance to nurturing emotions, empathy, sense of responsibility and sense of community. These values help learners not only know how to use technology, but also know how to use it correctly, purposefully and to benefit society.

Many opinions also believe that in order to buildHaving an appropriate educational philosophy requires the participation of many sectors, genders and the whole society. Education is not just the task of the education sector. A correct philosophy must reflect the spirit of the times, national development requirements and peoples expectations. Vietnamese education needs to shape a common goal: training people with the desire to rise, be responsible, have the ability to integrate and preserve national cultural identity. From there, education can positively contribute to sustainable development. Some studies also analyze that in the digital age, learning is not only about acquiring knowledge but also a process of experiencing, interacting and creating. This requires learners to be proactive, creative and know how to exploit the rich resource
