Hoa Binh province is undergoing a dynamic transformation amid Vietnam’s national digital transition. Building on Poliburo’s Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, the province has rolled out a wide range of practical action plans. A standout initiative is the "Digital Literacy for All” movement, an effort to ensure that no one is left behind in the digital era.

Laying foundation for digital citizenship

"Digital Literacy for All” is a key initiative designed to translate the Party’s directives in Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW into reality. Inspired by the historic "Binh dan hoc vu” (Mass Education) movement launched by President Ho Chi Minh to eliminate illiteracy after the 1945 August Revolution, this modern digital version serves as a bridge between the past and the future. It enables people from all walks of life, including students, workers, farmers, civil servants, and armed forces personnel, to access and apply digital tools in both daily life and professional tasks.

On November 18, 2024, during a meeting with educators ahead of Vietnam Teachers' Day, Party General Secretary To Lam underscored the urgent need to launch the "Digital Literacy for All” movement.
He called for it to become a continuous, far-reaching campaign, particularly focused on equipping communities in remote and disadvantaged areas with digital awareness and basic skills. This mission, he emphasised, is not solely the responsibility of the Party, government, or political organisations but also relies on each citizen being proactive in learning, sharing, and applying digital knowledge to help build a modern, inclusive society.

On May 15, 2025, the provincial Steering Committee for Science, Technology, Innovation, and Digital Transformation hosted Digital Transformation Day and officially launched the 2025 edition of the "Digital Literacy for All” movement. At the event, Nguyen Phi Long, alternate Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, emphasised the crucial role of universal digital education in narrowing the digital divide, enhancing national competitiveness, and ensuring inclusive digital participation. He noted that the movement is especially important for empowering farmers and rural communities to master digital tools and integrate more deeply into the digital economy and society.

Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Bui The Duy echoed this sentiment, noting that while digital transformation is an inevitable global trend, it is also a long-term journey requiring the full engagement of the political system. He stressed that the "Digital Literacy for All” movement must be implemented regularly to ensure that digital transformation brings real, practical benefits to people's lives.

Mobilising entire political system

To ensure broad participation in digital transformation, Hoa Binh has called on its entire political system to take part. Party committees, government agencies, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, and local organisations have all developed concrete implementation plans. Notably, the provincial Youth Union has mobilised youth volunteers to provide digital skills training to local communities. By May, more than 1,000 youth members had participated in hands-on training sessions across 151 communes, wards, and townships.

Nguyen Duy Tu, Secretary of the provincial Youth Union, shared that during the movement’s launch, youth volunteers worked with provincial police and telecommunications companies to help residents install and use digital services at Phuong Lam Market in Hoa Binh city. The Youth Union also established local "Digital Literacy Teams” led by young people to spread digital knowledge and essential IT skills. In partnership with VNPT Hoa Binh, they rolled out a 30-day movement to promote VNPT Smart CA digital signatures. Additionally, the Youth Union organised an online contest to raise public awareness of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW. "We see this as a new learning revolution—where young people not only offer technical support but also demonstrate the real-world value of digital literacy,” Tu said.

The provincial public security department has also taken a leading role, framing digital transformation not just as a technological challenge, but as a political mission. "Digital transformation is for everyone—no one should be left behind,” the department stated. Success, they noted, means citizens feeling confident and empowered in using digital IDs (VNeID) and accessing online public services.

Looking ahead, Hoa Binh aims to restructure its entire IT infrastructure within Party agencies toward a cloud-based model by 2027, fully implement all national digital platforms transferred by the central government, and complete the provincial Party Committee’s integrated data centre by 2028.

Bui Duc Hinh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, reaffirmed that the "Digital Literacy for All” movement aims to equip every citizen, especially those in remote, mountainous, and ethnic minority areas, with essential digital skills to ensure inclusive participation in the digital era.

To ensure the movement becomes a long-term, strategic mission rather than a short-term campaign, Hinh outlined several priority solutions, including expanding public communication efforts, offering practical digital skills training, establishing volunteer digital support teams in villages and neighbourhoods, and empowering key local actors such as youth union members, teachers, police officers, and grassroots tech teams. He also emphasised the need to strengthen cooperation with telecommunications and technology enterprises to further develop digital infrastructure that serves all residents effectively.
