Higher Education 5.0 explores Vietnam’s bold transformation toward a new educational paradigm, one that goes beyond digital innovation to reimagine the very purpose of learning. Drawing on empirical evidence, theoretical insights, and real-world practices, this book charts the nation’s dynamic journey toward an agile, ethical, and human-centered system. It highlights the achievements and challenges of institutions, educators, and students navigating rapid change. More than a roadmap, Higher Education 5.0 is a call to action, for policymakers, leaders, and teachers, to design with empathy, lead with integrity, and harness technology in the service of human flourishing and collective progress.
