Introduction to Khan Academy Vietnam 

Khan Academy Vietnam (KAV) is a non-profit education program implemented by the Vietnam Foundation, which is also the official and exclusive representative of Khan Academy in Vietnam. The program is guided by the mission of “Fostering breakthroughs in education and enhancing self-study capabilities for all Vietnamese K-12 students.”

In Vietnam, KAV localizes Khan Academy’s learning content and develops programs that support teachers and students, intending to expand access to high-quality educational resources for the community. The entire learning platform is provided free of charge, enabling learners to study anytime, anywhere.

To date, KAV has localized Khan Academy’s Mathematics course from Grade 1 to Grade 12 and has aligned content with Vietnam’s 2018 General Education Curriculum. The lessons are designed based on the mastery learning approach, allowing students to build a deep understanding of each concept, practice at their own pace, and gradually develop strong self-learning skills.

Beyond mathematics, the Khan Academy learning ecosystem also includes a wide range of subjects such as Computer and the Internet, Programming, Internet Safety, AI in Education, and Financial Literacy, helping students gain essential knowledge and skills for the digital age.

In addition to supporting students, Khan Academy also provides powerful tools for teachers to organize and manage their classrooms. Through learning data on the platform, teachers can monitor each student’s progress and adjust their teaching strategies to better personalize learning.

Recently, Khanmigo – an AI-powered teaching assistant developed by Khan Academy has been localized and made available free of charge for Vietnamese educators. Khanmigo helps teachers design lesson plans, create learning activities, and explore different approaches to support student understanding. The tool is not intended to replace teachers, but rather to give them more time to focus on guiding, inspiring, and accompanying their students.

In Vietnam, KAV is currently implementing two main models: KAV Open School, which integrates Khan Academy into schools to support digital transformation in education; and KAV Open Class, a community-based learning model initiated by individuals and organizations to connect teachers and learners on the platform.

All activities of the Vietnam Foundation and Khan Academy Vietnam are provided entirely free of charge for schools, teachers, and students. Through the development of learning resources, the application of educational technology, and the engagement of the broader community, KAV aims to expand access to knowledge and learning opportunities for people across Vietnam.
