School culture plays a pivotal role in the reform of higher education in Vietnam today. It not only serves as a driving force for both faculty and students but also establishes core values, behavioral norms, and a positive learning environment. A strong and positive school culture enhances the quality of teaching and learning while fostering students’ holistic development in ethics, intellect, physical well-being, and aesthetics. Achieving this requires close coordination between educational institutions, families, and society in shaping and nurturing the younger generation’s character. This study aims to clarify the role of school culture in higher education reform in Vietnam through the following aspects: school culture as a goal of higher education reform; school culture as a driving force for reform; school culture as a regulatory system in the reform process; and school culture as one of the core criteria for higher education reform in Vietnam today.
