This study examines John Locke’s educational philosophy and explores its relevance and potential application in the context of contemporary Vietnamese education. John Locke (1632–1704), a pivotal figure in English philosophy, developed a comprehensive educational framework emphasizing intellectual, moral, and physical development. His approach is distinguished by its focus on moral education, the cultivation of good habits, and the use of gentle, persuasive teaching methods rather than punitive measures. Locke advocated for individualized education tailored to each child’s unique characteristics, an idea that continues to resonate in modern educational practices. This paper analyzes Locke’s educational objectives, content, and methods, highlighting their progressive nature and how they can be integrated into Vietnam’s ongoing educational reforms. By drawing on the positive elements of Locke’s philosophy, this study provides insights into how Vietnam can enhance its education system to better meet the needs of its students and align with international educational standards.
