The article analyzes Mencius' philosophical thought on human education, focusing on the perspective of goodness and the role of education in the development of a comprehensive personality. Mencius believes that people are born with a good nature, and education is the process of arousing four great virtues: humanity, righteousness, ceremony, and wisdom, in order to build an ideal person and live in harmony with society. The article also relates this idea to the education of Vietnamese youth in the modern context, which is influenced by globalization, digital technology and social challenges. Through the creative application of Mencius thought, the article proposes educational solutions to build a young generation of Vietnamese with ethics, intellect, health and social responsibility, contributing to the sustainable development of the country.
