Khan Academy (headquartered in Silicon Valley, USA) has just announced that in 2024, Vietnam has officially risen to the second position globally (excluding the US) in the number of users on the free online learning platform Khan Academy, after Brazil. This is a big step forward, demonstrating a strong change in educational thinking and digital transformation in Vietnam.
In 2023, Vietnam ranked third in the rankings, but with impressive growth over the past year, Vietnam has risen to second place. More than just a statistic, this achievement reflects a positive shift in the approach and thinking of innovative teaching and learning methods in schools across the country.
The year 2024 marks a strong and synchronous digital transformation effort of the entire education sector when online tools and systems are gradually becoming an indispensable part of the teaching and learning process. In particular, the application of the integrated learning content management system LCMS (Learning Content Management System) is a mandatory criterion in the Ministry of Education and Training's Digital Transformation Assessment Index. With the function of a complete LCMS system, the Khan Academy platform has been accompanying millions of teachers and students across Vietnam to evaluate, teach and learn effectively.
Khan Academy is a free online education platform that provides a variety of learning content in subjects such as Math, Programming, Science, Artificial Intelligence, SAT and AP exam preparation and many other soft skills courses. It is also one of the pioneering platforms that applies artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize the process of assigning, evaluating and managing as well as personalizing the learning experience of students. As a result, teachers can easily use free digital learning materials on the platform in teaching, assigning, grading and evaluating automatically, thereby saving time preparing lessons and quickly grasping the learning ability of each student. For students, they are also supported by technology to identify their strengths and weaknesses and find a learning path that suits their abilities. This is an important step forward in improving the quality of education, bringing the best access to knowledge to all students, regardless of conditions or circumstances.
In Vietnam, Khan Academy Vietnam (KAV) is a non-profit educational program implemented by The Vietnam Foundation (VNF). In addition to translating and localizing Math, Programming, Probability and Statistics courses... suitable for students, KAV also organizes teacher training sessions to help teachers access and apply technology in teaching in the most effective way. To date, 25,000 teachers in more than 5,300 schools in many localities have been trained and effectively used Khan Academy in their teaching.

Vietnam’s rise to second place in the global rankings for Khan Academy usage is an important milestone, demonstrating the strong shift of Vietnamese education in the digital age. This effort cannot be separated from the close coordination between Khan Academy Vietnam and the Departments of Education and Training, Departments of Education and Training and schools in many localities, to promote the application of technology in teaching, helping teachers and students access modern learning tools in the most effective way.
“Our biggest wish is that every Vietnamese student has an account on Khan Academy to self-study Math and other subjects with the best quality, completely free of charge. This is possible thanks to the development of digital infrastructure in Vietnam, creating favorable conditions for online teaching and learning,” said Mr. Pham Duc Trung Kien, founder of VNF.
Khan Academy’s strong growth in Vietnam not only demonstrates the proactive approach to technology by leaders, teachers and students, but also demonstrates Vietnam’s great progress in its digital education transformation strategy. As the government, educational institutions and communities join hands to promote the application of technology, Vietnam is affirming its position as one of the pioneering countries in digital education, opening up more equitable and effective learning opportunities for future generations.
