Training students in digital competency based on the international ICDL standard; applying digital transformation and building a comprehensive AI ecosystem; pioneering bilingual STEM education. These are the three core pillars of EMG Education, contributing to Ho Chi Minh City’s goal of breakthrough education and digital transformation.

Training digital competency aligned with the international ICDL standard
The first pillar in EMG’s model focuses on developing students’ digital skills according to international standards through the ICDL programme—one of the world’s most widely recognized digital competency frameworks. According to international organizations, ICDL fully meets the competency domains of the European DigComp framework while aligning with Vietnam’s digital competency framework for learners under Circular 02/2025/TT-BGDĐT issued by the Ministry of Education and Training.
The programme not only equips students with essential IT skills but also integrates artificial intelligence (AI) content, enabling early exposure to technology. The training ecosystem includes sample lesson plans, digital lectures, assessment systems, and electronic learning materials, providing comprehensive support for teaching and learning.
A notable highlight is that the ICDL certificate has global and lifelong validity, giving students a competitive advantage in international study and work environments. In addition, building a continuous AI learning pathway across school levels, combined with STEM education, creates a strong foundation for developing high-quality human resources to meet the demands of the digital economy and the Industry 4.0 and 5.0 revolutions.
Students learn on the high-tech EMG Immersive Learning platform
Immersive Learning programme and AI technology applications
To successfully implement the Integrated English Programme, EMG places strong emphasis on innovative teaching methods through technology adoption, digital transformation, and the development of a comprehensive AI ecosystem. Among the digital transformation solutions is the EMG LMS system with a rich digital resource library, integrating tools such as AI-powered pronunciation and vocabulary practice, 3D models, virtual laboratories, Metaverse classrooms, personalized learning applications, and virtual teachers.
In particular, the implementation of the “Immersive Learning” model has opened a completely new and engaging learning environment. The Immersive LMS platform supports thousands of simultaneous users while maintaining stable performance. Its diverse digital resource library covers English, Integrated English for Math and Science, promotes STEM education, and supports English as a second language development.
This sustainable digital transformation solution helps bridge educational gaps, with Vietnamese teachers supported by technology and high-quality learning materials developed by international experts. The Immersive Learning programme can be deployed across multiple regions, narrowing disparities in educational quality and creating equal access to international-standard programmes for students throughout the city.
Pioneering bilingual STEM education
One of EMG’s most notable achievements is the implementation of the Integrated English Programme in a bilingual direction, combining Vietnam’s 2018 General Education Curriculum with the UK national curriculum framework and learning outcomes aligned with Pearson Edexcel.
Beyond strengthening language proficiency, the model expands into bilingual STEM education, where students learn Math and Science in English while developing scientific thinking, research ability, and problem-solving skills. This approach also fosters creative thinking based on the Global Innovation Index framework. The programme is designed with clear, measurable outcomes through international certifications. Students not only master knowledge but also apply it in practice through Project-Based Learning.
Contributing to Vietnam’s strategic education goals, the three pioneering pillars of EMG’s model are closely interconnected, forming a comprehensive education ecosystem—from language, science, and technology to digital competencies. EMG Education identifies AI as the core technological foundation of the digital school model, gradually building a digital education ecosystem to enhance English proficiency, digital skills, and creative thinking among Vietnamese students in this transformative era.
