AI is shaking up education, but the value of teachers remains an irreplaceable foundation.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is creating many changes in higher education. AI is getting stronger, students are more proactive, but the anxiety about the future of work has never been greater. Parents worry about jobs; students worry about being replaced by AI; teachers worry about their role in the new era.

In that context, Dai Nam University (DNU) issued a statement: “AI does not replace teachers – but AI will replace teachers who refuse to change.” The message shows the urgent need to innovate the educational model, where lecturers are the leaders and students can learn for real – do for real – have real experience.

Innovate to not fall behind in the AI era

According to forecasts, about 40% of jobs are at risk of being automated in the next 10 years. The technology, health, and business sectors are lacking practical human resources, while many students still have to start their careers from "base zero".

From the question "how to ensure students are not left behind?", Dai Nam University determined that the solution lies in model innovation, not in formality.

“3 real” model - DNU's training platform

(1) Real learning – Flipped classroom

The teacher does not talk one way, the student does not copy one way. Students prepare in advance – come to class to do, discuss, solve problems. The student's active participation rate is about 70%.

(2) Do it for real – AI supports learners, not replaces teachers

Students use AI to analyze, simulate, and optimize their assignments. Teachers use AI to train, personalize, and improve teaching efficiency. Each student is considered a project to be developed.

(3) Real experience – Connecting businesses from year one

No need to visit, take pictures and then go home. Each semester has real business topics – real jobs – real KPIs. Many faculties achieve 95–100% of students working in the right field right after graduation.

University of the future - on the side of learners

The difference of Dai Nam University is not only in the 10-hectare facility , nearly 1,300 staff - lecturers - employees , or 45,000 students studying, but because Dai Nam has chosen to stand on the side of the learners.

The core of the school is the educational philosophy: teaching what the market needs, providing decent and effective education, following the applied university model and empowering students to change themselves.

Chairman of the University Council, Dr. Le Dac Son, affirmed: “A university cannot be greater than the quality of its own staff.”

Dai Nam University chose a different way: Building a strong team: more than 1,300 staff, lecturers, and employees . Building a happy school: teachers are respected - students are creative. Building the philosophy of "Learning to change": not teaching for exams, but teaching to live.

That team is the real brand of Dai Nam. Not the logo, not the ranking – but the people.

Dai Nam University - 18 years of perseverance for the community

For nearly two decades, Dai Nam University has persistently pursued five pillars:

1. People-centered.

2. Kind - practical - effective education.

3. Happy school – happy learners.

4. Applied research – serving life and business.

5. Kind brand – loved by value.

No fanfare , no noise. It is a humble but consistent journey. And it is that consistency that creates social trust for Dai Nam University - where every student is given the opportunity to change their life.

Education is only meaningful when it makes life better.

Graduates have jobs, decent incomes, and a life to be proud of - that is not only the expectation of parents, but also the commitment of Dai Nam University.

DNU does not seek prominence. DNU seeks real value. A great university is one that makes society better – not one that talks more.
