Abstract

In the context of the 4.0 scientific and technological revolution and the development of the knowledge economy, globalization and international integration strongly affect the lives of people in all countries worldwide, and the treasure trove of information and knowledge of humanity is increasingly being nurtured and shared. This requires people to constantly learn and study throughout their lives to meet the job requirements in the current context. With the strong development of science and technology, lifelong learning has become an indispensable part of higher education. This is a favourable condition for developing lifelong learning goals for students. In reality, the role of universities in developing lifelong learning capabilities for students in the higher education system in Vietnam still lacks mechanisms and synchronization, as they are mainly built and used independently in each university; this lack of coordination and sharing leads to ineffective lifelong learning capabilities of students. As the backbone, the higher education system needs to deploy appropriate and practical solutions to pioneer in developing lifelong learning capabilities for students to build a learning society and lifelong learning.
