  • Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has signed Decision No. 1117/QD-TTg approving a programme to develop open educational resources for higher education. Under the programme, in the 2023-2026 period, a portal of open educational resources will be built and put into operation, providing learning, teaching, and research materials for learners, officials, lecturers of higher education institutions, and those who need to update higher education knowledge.

    By 2026, over 40% of higher education institutions in the country will participate in building and developing open educational resources. Over 20% of higher education majors have textbooks, teaching, and learning materials posted on the portal.
