Resumo. In the digital era, Vietnam education is transforming profoundly, requiring a flexible, modern educational philosophy suitable for social needs. Technological advances, especially artificial intelligence and online learning, are strongly impacting teaching and learning, requiring education not only to impart knowledge but also to be equipped with creative thinking, adaptive thinking skills, and digital ethics. Confucius's educational philosophy, although it comes from a feudal context, still carries core values that can be applied in modern education. Principles such as lifelong learning, moral education, character development, and social responsibility still play an essential role in building a well-rounded education system. Combining the quintessence of tradition with technological innovation will help improve the quality of education and create human resources with capacity, ethics, and the ability to adapt to the rapid changes of the times.
