Ivy Global School and Edmentum Host Seminar on AI in Education Ivy Global School (IGS) recently partnered with Edmentum to host an educational seminar focused on the role of artificial intelligence in modern learning environments. The event, titled “The Next Era of International Education: Key Trends Shaping Education in Asia-Pacific,” took place in Ho Chi Minh City and brought together educators and administrators to discuss practical applications of EdTech in schools. Edmentum, a U.S.-based EdTech corporation serving over 5.2 million students across 100 countries, highlighted the growing significance of the Asia-Pacific EdTech market, which is projected to reach $133 billion by 2027. During the seminar, Ms. Eve Lee, Regional Director of Asia-Pacific at Edmentum, emphasized that successful technology integration requires moving beyond simply providing tools to creating measurable impact in classrooms. She noted that investing in disconnected or fragmented technologies often increases the workload for teachers without delivering meaningful educational outcomes. Ms. Lee stressed that data generated by AI systems only becomes valuable when translated into actionable insights for educators. She stated that technology should not replace teachers but instead support them in focusing on core responsibilities such as inspiring students and developing their potential. Ivy Global School shared its approach to implementing Edmentum’s resources within the Vietnamese educational context. As the local implementation partner, IGS focuses on adapting U.S.-standard learning materials and AI-driven algorithms to align with domestic educational needs. This localization strategy aims to ensure that technological tools are practical and sustainable within Vietnam’s school systems without overburdening teachers or disrupting existing workflows. The seminar underscored a shared commitment between Ivy Global School and Edmentum to leverage technology as a support mechanism for educators rather than a replacement for human instruction. By prioritizing impact over access and emphasizing localized solutions, the collaboration seeks to address common challenges in EdTech adoption, including implementation complexity and teacher burnout. Both organizations continue to explore ways to enhance teaching and learning through responsible AI integration, with ongoing workshops and webinars planned to further support educators in the region.
