Opportunities and Challenges of Applying Technology In Education In Ethnic Minority Areas In Vietnam

As a multi-ethnic country, Vietnam is facing the problem of unequal educational development, with a large gap among advantaged, developed regions and ethnic minority, remote and isolated areas - where natural conditions are more difficult, material facilities are still lacking... Although there have been many policies and projects supporting education, these limitations have not been eliminated. Fortunately, the development of technology has brought new opportunities, promoting the improvement of the quality of education in ethnic minority areas and overcoming the existing difficulties. However, where there are opportunities, there are risks and vice versa. Grasping opportunities and limiting risks when applying technology in education will help education in ethnic minority areas have the opportunity to shorten the gap in education quality as well as access to technology and move towards ensuring equity compared to advantaged areas.
