Education is acknowledged as a premier national strategy and constitutes a cornerstone for cultivating high-caliber human capital. In the context of international integration and comprehensive educational reform, the implementation of policies and directives in Phú Thọ province has become a strategic priority. Following administrative consolidation, the province has emerged as a significant educational hub, encompassing numerous institutions and a substantial workforce of educators and administrators, thereby providing a conducive environment for advancing educational development initiatives. Empirical evidence indicates that Phú Thọ has attained notable achievements: the educational infrastructure has been expanded and modernized, the quality of specialized and high-achieving education has improved, and policy execution has been relatively coherent and aligned with reform objectives. Nonetheless, persistent challenges include regional disparities in educational quality, limitations in human resource capacity and administrative competence, and uneven adoption of digital technologies and pedagogical innovations. The principal underlying factors are generic policies insufficiently tailored to local contexts, uneven professional competence among teaching staff, and constraints in educational technology integration. To enhance policy efficacy, this study recommends formulating context-specific frameworks, strengthening professional capacity, promoting digital transformation and pedagogical innovation, and narrowing regional gaps to ensure equitable access to quality education.
