Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam has officially secured the second place globally, just behind Brazil, in the number of users on Khan Academy, a renowned Silicon Valley-based online educational platform.

This milestone surpassed Vietnam's previous third-place ranking in 2023.

Khan Academy offers a vast repository of educational resources spanning Math, Programming, Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI), SAT and AP test preparation, and even soft skills training. Its use of AI optimises how assignments are distributed, graded and managed, creating a personalised experience that adapts to each student’s unique needs.

For educators, Khan Academy's AI-driven tools streamline the teaching process by offering free digital resources, auto-grading assignments, and providing instant student performance analysis, all while saving time on lesson preparation.

Students, on the other hand, also benefit greatly from AI-powered insights that pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses. With unique learning paths tailored to them, they have equal opportunities to excel academically regardless of their starting points.

The impact of Khan Academy is particularly profound, thanks to The Vietnam Foundation (VNF), which established Khan Academy Vietnam as a non-profit initiative. Beyond translating and localising courses such as Math, Programming, and Statistics, Khan Academy Vietnam also holds training workshops to equip teachers with the skills to effectively integrate technology into their teaching methods.

To date, as many as 25,000 teachers from over 5,300 schools in various Vietnamese localities have been trained to use Khan Academy in their teaching./.
