Ancient Chinese philosophy of education, especially through the Confucian thought of Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi, is a profound system of thought, emphasizing the cultivation of morality, wisdom, and social responsibility in education. Set in the context of Chinese feudal society, these philosophies focus on character training, combining knowledge with virtue, and positioning education as a means to achieve personal and social harmony. The study sheds light on how these ideas address fundamental questions of educational purpose and methods, and assesses their implications in the face of modern challenges, such as ethical issues in technology education, academic achievement pressures, and the need for comprehensive development of students. Ancient Chinese educational philosophy helps shape comprehensive, responsible, and sustainable educational models in Vietnam and around the world
