The Digital Competency Framework is built as a foundation for developing training courses to improve digital competencies for students in the 21st century. The goal is to help students acquire the necessary digital competencies to live, study, work and participate in social communication proactively, positively and safely in the digital environment. The Digital Competency Framework is widely provided to all organizations and other training units as a reference document to develop digital competency programs for each specific subject.
Dr. Do Van Hung - Head of the research team presented an overview of the digital competency framework.
Based on comparing international competency frameworks, and referring to Facebook's approach in We Think Digital courses, applying the content of the Introduction to Information Competency module, the research team proposed a digital competency framework model for students consisting of 7 competency groups with 26 standards.

The specific competencies described in each of these large competency groups are also classified and rearranged in a direction that emphasizes less technical factors in operations, focusing on applying technology to practice through attitude, empathy, critical thinking, problem solving, and innovation.
