What is the digital primary school report card according to the law in Vietnam?

Currently, the law in Vietnam does not define what a primary school digital record card is. A record card is used for monitoring the conduct and academic results of students.

Therefore, a digital record card is the digital version of a physical record card in education. From there, the physical record card will be digitized into an electronic format for more convenient management.

At present, the law does not mandate the application of digital record cards in all schools nationwide.

The Ministry of Education and Training is currently researching a pilot implementation of digital record cards and digital scorebooks on a nationwide scale. After accurately evaluating the results of the model, there will be guidance and regulations for unified management and usage across the country and addressing any issues.
