Vietnam’s Journey towards Higher Education 5.0 is a book about how Vietnam can move from Education 4.0 to a human-centered Education 5.0. Co-edited by Dr Duc Hong Thi Phan and Professor Bruno Mascitelli, with some 25 contributors, the book provides a bridge between learning and mentoring, between Vietnam and the world. The message is clear: technology matters, but people matter more. The chapters explain three connected dimensions—technology & pedagogy, equity & ethics, and innovation & institutional roles. Readers will see Vietnam’s opportunities (youthful population, digital readiness, strong policies) and challenges (urban–rural gaps, infrastructure limits, cultural transitions). The book offers practical tools for teachers, policy makers, and university leaders: blended learning, AI and analytics, VR/AR, quality assurance, lifelong learning, and open access. With a global–local lens, this volume places Vietnam in regional and Global South debates. It argues that Higher Education 5.0 is not only efficient and digital, but also inclusive, ethical, and sustainable—so that universities become anchors of equity, creativity, and resilience.
