Vietnam Education Publishing House to train teachers on unified textbook series 

Vietnam Education Publishing House (VEPH) will begin nationwide training for teachers and education administrators on the use of the country's unified textbook series starting June 1, as authorities move to standardize implementation of the general education curriculum.

The publisher said the program is being carried out in line with directives issued by the Ministry of Education and Training under documents dated December 31, 2025 and February 11, 2026, with the aim of ensuring educators are fully prepared to use the unified textbooks in classrooms.

The training is intended to familiarize teachers and school administrators with the content, structure and teaching approaches embedded in the textbooks, while supporting consistent and effective implementation across provinces and cities.

It will also provide educators with opportunities to exchange professional expertise and engage directly with textbook authors, chief editors and instructors, while meeting nationwide demand for professional development.

The program will be delivered through both online and in-person formats.

For online sessions, training will run from June 1 through July 24, 2026, with one full day dedicated to each textbook title. Sessions will be held from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

All 152 textbooks covering grades 1 through 12 will be included in eight rounds of online training organised in two phases. The first phase, comprising the first four rounds, will take place from June 1 to June 26, while the second phase will run from June 29 to July 24.

Organizing two phases will allow local education authorities greater flexibility in scheduling participation and enable teachers to attend sessions that best fit their needs.

During each round, Vietnam Education Publishing House will operate eight to nine virtual training rooms simultaneously, with each room dedicated to a specific textbook. Local authorities will assign participants and arrange attendance based on the overall schedule.

For in-person training, the publisher said it will develop separate plans in response to requests from local authorities in order to meet regional needs efficiently while optimizing resources.

The publisher has also prepared a range of supporting materials, including digital versions of textbooks, teachers' guides, workbooks, training materials and sample lesson plans. These resources are available free of charge on its training platform to help teachers and education administrators study the materials independently.

Through the program, Vietnam Education Publishing House said it aims to improve the implementation of the national general education curriculum and strengthen teachers' ability to use the unified textbooks effectively in schools.

The publisher has also established a technical support team to assist teachers and education administrators throughout the training period.
