The rapid advancement of digital technologies has fundamentally reshaped how personal data are perceived and protected. As Vietnam navigates this digital transformation, the imperative for a robust legal framework governing personal data protection has become paramount, especially in the education sector. In 2023, the government enacted Decree 13 on personal data protection ("Decree 13") to protect Vietnamese personal data. This paper explores Vietnam's current regulatory landscape for personal data protection, focusing on key aspects such as the classification of data, the rights of data subjects, and the obligations of data controllers and processors. Based on lessons from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this article aims to give insights into potential improvements to Vietnamese regulations on personal data protection, especially in the education sector.
