Patriotic education is a fundamental component of moral and civic formation for university students, particularly in the context of rapid digital transformation and globalization. This paper examines the current situation of patriotic education for university students in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam, identifying key challenges and proposing practical solutions adapted to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Drawing on qualitative analysis of educational policy documents, institutional reports, and relevant literature, the study finds that while patriotic content is formally integrated into curricula, student engagement remains limited due to conventional pedagogical approaches. The paper argues that innovative, technology-enhanced, and experiential learning methods are essential to revitalize patriotic education and strengthen national identity among the new generation of Vietnamese youth. Recommendations are offered for educators, institutional leaders, and policymakers.Reference
