Through the process of inspection and supervision of the implementation at the local level, it shows that most local authorities have established Steering Committees, issued plans, guiding documents, performed tasks related to the Digital Academic Transcript within their responsibilities and authority and achieved initial effectiveness. However, some local authorities have not timely performed tasks as stipulated in Plan No. 213 and the documents issued by the MoET providing the guidance for the implementation of the piloting the Digital Academic Transcript. To strengthening the work of directing and implementing the tasks of piloting the Digital Academic Transcript, the MoET requests the Departments of Education and Training to focus on implementing the following contents:

During the implementation process, it is necessary to clearly determine the tasks and responsibilities at each level, ensuring successful implementation at the primary education level and drawing lessons to prepare for the official implementation at the secondary education level in accordance with the spirit of the Prime Minister's Directive 04/CT-TTg regarding the implementation of the piloting of the Digital Academic Transcript in June 2024 and nationwide implementation in the academic year 2024-2025 and so on.
