| Abstract | This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal and policy framework, implementation status, and barriers to comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) for students in Vietnam. Through a review and analysis of policy documents, research reports, and international technical guidance, the study shows that the implementation of CSE in Vietnam remains fragmented, lacking systematization, and does not fully meet global standards. Although there are certain legal foundations, Vietnam still lacks a coherent national policy and a stand‑alone CSE curriculum. The current integration model does not ensure comprehensive content coverage or consistency in pedagogy. Key challenges include policy gaps, limited teacher capacity, a lack of standardized materials, and deep-rooted socio-cultural barriers, such as gender bias and community reluctance. Accordingly, the paper proposes a set of strategic solutions, including establishing a clear national policy framework, investing in teacher training and professional development, developing context‑appropriate teaching materials, and promoting multisectoral coordination among education, health, and social organizations to create an enabling environment for effective CSE implementation, thereby empowering the young generation in Vietnam. |
