This qualitative research assesses the opportunities and obstacles for STEM education implementation in Vietnam under the new general education curriculum introduced in 2018. Methodology involves expert interviews and document analysis. Findings reveal that the new curriculum provides a favorable context for STEM education, but implementation faces challenges such as limited policy frameworks, inadequate resources, insufficient teacher capabilities, and weak partnerships. Opportunities include increasing government support and societal awareness. The research concludes that despite the conducive environment, significant challenges remain. Recommendations include developing comprehensive policies, investing in resources, enhancing teacher development, fostering partnerships, and continuously improving practices based on research. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these recommendations and explore innovative approaches.
