The 2021 Lifelong Learning Week, themed “Digital transformation and lifelong learning opportunities for all in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic”, takes place from October 1 to 7.

Recently, the Covid-19 pandemic has also had a major impact on the education sector, especially many schools have had to temporarily suspend in-person teaching. Instead, they have switched to implementing online teaching, testing, and assessment programs. This initially encountered some difficulties and obstacles, especially in the context of Nghe An having many particularly difficult areas, highlands, and ethnic minority students.

This year's Lifelong Learning Week sends the message: Regular learning, lifelong learning and continuous popularization of digital transformation applications in the education sector. Updating resources on digital platforms so that people can access digital transformation education, moving towards popularizing digital skills, skills to ensure safety and network security at a basic level for people. Digital transformation in education is the process of changing from a traditional model to a digital application education model to change the management method, working process, and education method. This is also an inevitable trend in the era of technology 4.0, creating favorable conditions to promote the spirit of lifelong learning.
