Despite his old age, with the help and guidance of his children and the spirit of continuous learning, Mr. Nguyen Van Du, Dong Cuong commune (Yen Lac) has skillfully used applications on smartphones to serve the needs of entertainment, information search, connection, and communication with relatives and friends.

Mr. Du said: “I have a child working in Ho Chi Minh City. Through my smartphone, I can often call, chat, and see my child, which helps ease my longing. In addition, I often use my phone to read books, newspapers, watch entertainment programs, search for information about health care; use the bank's digital application to check my pension account and pay monthly electricity and water bills...”.

When carrying out administrative procedures at the "one-stop shop" of the People's Committee of Khai Quang Ward (Vinh Yen), Ms. Vu Thi Hien was enthusiastically guided by the ward officials on how to submit documents online. Thanks to that, she quickly completed the submission of documents without having to go through many steps of declaration and printing copies of documents to submit as before.

Ms. Hien said: “At first, I thought that doing the online procedure would be very complicated, but after doing it under the guidance of the staff, I found it quite simple and convenient. Later, if I need to do similar procedures, I can completely submit them online myself.”

In the context of widespread digital transformation, popularizing digital knowledge not only helps people exploit the benefits of technology but also contributes to improving labor productivity, promoting creativity and improving the quality of life.

This is also an important premise for building high-quality digital human resources, improving competitiveness, meeting the province's development requirements in the new period, creating a foundation to promote widespread digital transformation.

Inspired by the "Popular Education" movement initiated by President Ho Chi Minh in 1945 to eradicate illiteracy and improve people's knowledge, the "Popular Digital Education" movement carries the mission of "eradicating digital illiteracy", popularizing digital skills, narrowing the digital gap, forming a community that adapts to digital transformation, helping all people to grasp and master digital technology effectively, thereby participating more deeply in the digital economy and digital society.

The "Digital Literacy for All" movement has important and deeply humane significance for the country's development, demonstrating the determination of the Party and State in the development of a digital nation, digital government, digital economy, and digital society.

In order for the movement to be deployed widely and effectively, Vinh Phuc continues to thoroughly grasp, raise awareness, responsibility, and participation of the entire political system in implementing the movement; promote propaganda, raise awareness, encourage people to self-study, foster, improve digital knowledge and skills, proactively participate in the digital space, thereby contributing to promoting the overall development of the homeland and the country.
