Abstract
The context of digital transformation has posed many policy requirements in the management of vocational education activities. In that context, the requirements for building and developing a team of teachers; requirements for innovation in training program content; changes in teaching and learning methods; and requirements for facilities and digital infrastructure equipment require the state to have appropriate vocational education development policies that meet the requirements of the digital transformation context. The purpose of this study is to assess: (i) The importance of vocational education development policies in the context of digital transformation in Ho Chi Minh City; (ii) The position and role of vocational education development policies in the context of digital transformation in Ho Chi Minh City; (iii) The contributions of policies to vocational education development in the context of digital transformation in Ho Chi Minh City; (iv) Some limitations in vocational education development policies in the context of digital transformation in Ho Chi Minh City. To achieve the set objectives, this study surveyed 137 people who are managers, teachers at several vocational education institutions and civil servants, public employees at several departments, branches, and business owners in Ho Chi Minh City. The study has shown that although Ho Chi Minh City has had many timely policies to develop vocational education, there are still limitations that have not kept up with the requirements of the digital transformation context. Therefore, the proposed solutions will contribute to perfecting Ho Chi Minh City’s vocational education development policies in the context of digital transformation.
