The COVID-19 pandemic has undeniably redefined the educational landscape worldwide, forcing educational institutions, from kindergartens to universities, to rethink and remodel traditional pedagogical approaches. Vietnam, like many other countries, rapidly shifted towards virtual learning to maintain the educational flow amidst the crisis. Although it was initially a response to an unexpected circumstance, it is now poised to become an integral part of the country’s educational system even in the post-pandemic era. With a population nearing 100 million and a burgeoning middle class, Vietnam shows immense potential for the virtual learning industry. Moreover, the country’s extensive emphasis on education and digital literacy, coupled with a high rate of internet penetration (approximately 70% in 2021), lays a fertile ground for virtual learning to thrive.
