This study uses systematic analysis and an integrative review to explore contemporary trends in general education program administration, particularly the shift from a centralized model to a decentralized approach and the accompanying challenges and opportunities. The analysis reveals a significant transition to a more flexible decentralized framework, granting greater autonomy to local authorities and educational institutions. However, this shift requires strong intergovernmental coordination to maintain coherence in curriculum implementation while fostering innovation and adaptability to local contexts. Key challenges include disparities in administrative capacity among regions, the need for capacity-building initiatives for education managers, and ensuring consistency in quality assurance mechanisms. The study proposes strategic policy recommendations to enhance the efficiency of general education program management in Vietnam. These include promoting balanced governance reforms, encouraging evidence-based decision-making, and investing in capacity-building measures. The ultimate goal is to enhance the quality, equity, and responsiveness of the general education system to meet the evolving needs of society.
