The Project “Building a Learning Society” was approved by the Prime Minister and implemented since 2005 in phases: 2005-2010, 2012-2020 and 2021-2030. Up to now, the implementation of this Project has brought about many important results.
Accordingly, the network of continuing education facilities has been consolidated and developed rapidly in terms of quantity, diversified in models, and effective in operations, better meeting the learning needs of the people. The number of private continuing education facilities has increased rapidly, especially the system of information technology and foreign language centers, which has actively supported the improvement of foreign language and information technology proficiency for students, staff, civil servants, teachers and people in the direction of socialization.
Currently, the country has 17,459 continuing education facilities, including 71 provincial continuing education centers; 619 district-level vocational education-continuing education centers; 10,469 community learning centers; 5,642 foreign language-information technology centers; 658 facilities and centers implementing life skills education.
In the 4 main goals of the Project "Building a learning society in the period of 2012-2020", the whole country has achieved 2 major goals: "Elimination of illiteracy and universalization of education", "Learning to improve life skills, building a happier personal and community life". Up to now, 100% of provinces and cities have met the standard of eliminating illiteracy level 1; 46/63 provinces/cities have met the standard of eliminating illiteracy level 2; 63/63 provinces/cities have met the standard of universalizing preschool education for 5-year-old children, meeting the standard of universalizing primary education level 2 and meeting the standard of universalizing secondary education level 1.
Notably, when implementing the Project, a learning society model at the commune level was formed. This is a strategic step that only exists in Vietnam, recognized by UNESCO and other countries.

However, besides the achievements, there are still limitations and barriers to building a learning society in Vietnam. Awareness of the work of promoting learning, talent promotion, and building a learning society is not at the right level. Lifelong learning activities outside of school are not diverse and rich, and operating conditions are still difficult. The participation of higher education institutions in the work of promoting learning, talent promotion, and building a learning society is still limited...
