Teacher Tran Thuy Duong, principal of Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted, shared: "Along with the joyful atmosphere at the opening ceremony of the 2024 - 2025 school year, teachers and students of Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted were moved to remember the simple yet profound advice that President Ho Chi Minh sent tothe education sector 56 years ago: No matter how difficult it is, we must continue to compete to teach well and study well. Faced with the new challenges that the education sector is facing in the current context of modernization and globalization, we are even more deeply imbued with Uncle Ho's far-sighted vision.
Uncle Ho's advice is the motivation that helps teachers of Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted turn difficulties in the fundamental and comprehensive reform of education into opportunities for innovation and creativity to improve the quality of teaching. With modern educational methods following the motto "taking learners as the center", promoting the philosophy of "learning goes hand in hand with practice", promoting the application of information technology in the teaching process, and making efforts to develop STEM education in schools, teachers have created a proactive and positive mindset for students on the journey of discovering knowledge".

According to Ms. Duong: "In the 2023-2024 school year, Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted leads Hanoi and the whole country in the number of students winning prizes at the National High School Excellent Student Competition with 105 prizes in various subjects. Many students have also become excellent representatives who bring glory to Vietnamese intelligence with medals in international knowledge arenas such as the Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad, the Nordic Physics Olympiad, the Mendeleev International Chemistry Olympiad, the International Artificial Intelligence Olympiad, etc. Not only diligently cultivating knowledge and scientific research capacity, they are also a dynamic young generation in sports, cultural and artistic activities, enthusiastic in Youth Union movements, respecting history, actively cultivating revolutionary awareness and ethics.
The achievements in good teaching and learning, especially the promising results in STEM education and developing information technology capacity for students in the past school year, are the driving force for the school to continue to develop plans and orientations for the 2024-2025 school year. With the determination to improve the quality of training in the fields of science, technology and engineering, the school will continue to equip a system of advanced and modern facilities, build a team of highly qualified teachers, always strive to update new trends in teaching information technology and applying 4.0 technology in education, diversifying information technology and artificial intelligence experience activities. These are key factors to develop creative thinking, inspire passion for science and technology, and foster students' scientific and technical research capacity. In addition to encouraging and guiding talented students to try their hand at knowledge playgrounds in the fields of STEM and artificial intelligence, the school will carry out educational activities to spread the love of science and passion for information technology to all students in the school to inspire their spirit of self-study and self-research.
To realize that goal, I hope that teachers will continuously promote the spirit of innovative and creative teaching with the aim of creating conditions for students to study regularly and for life."
"Dear students, I believe that today's opening ceremony will be a beautiful start for you to be ready to embark on a journey of self-development, especially training and improving important capacities for global citizens in the digital age. Be diligent and make efforts to cultivate knowledge and physical strength, practice life skills, always be confident and shine with independent thinking, the spirit of international integration to promptly adapt to the strong changes of the digital age, globalization to become excellent citizens in the future. Teachers and students, we will together enter a new school year full of confidence and high determination to continue to build on the glorious history of Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted, towards the 40th anniversary of the school's founding.
Now, I would like to announce: The opening of the new school year 2024 - 2025 for teachers and students of Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted, the 39th school year of the school!", Teacher Tran Thuy Duong said.
Exciting opening day of students at schools in Hanoi
At Van Khe Primary School, Ha Dong District, Hanoi, Ms. Tran Thi Quyen, the school's principal, said: "Up to now, the school has fully arranged facilities and teaching staff, ready for a new school year with many important holidays and anniversaries."
This year, the whole school has 1,665 students, including 327 first graders. "In this solemn moment, teachers know that you are very excited to enter the new school year. So please be determined to study and practice well because study to know, study to do, study to live together, study to assert yourself and study is the path to glory", Ms. Quyen sent to students on the opening day.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Tung Lam, Chairman of the Education Council of Dinh Tien Hoang High School, Hanoi, said on the occasion of the new school year: "Although our Dinh Tien Hoang School has a tradition of "teaching letters - teaching people" for the past 35 years, many modern educational programs have been researched and applied to help many generations of Dinh Tien Hoang students have enough lifestyle of "5 words" and "Culture of self-development", so they have matured, mastered their lives, adapted to many social changes, and met the development requirements of society and the country.
Not only students have to change to develop, I hope that every teacher at Dinh Tien Hoang also dares to change so that each person can keep up with the changes and innovations in education when implementing the 2018 education program; Always pay attention to and take care of each student in the class, organize and guide them so that they can discover the laws, social life events as well as the natural laws that exist around us. From observation, experience, reasoning, and debate, students will form their own basic and core knowledge that the textbook program has stated. From that knowledge, students will have enough capacity to solve problems surrounding each person's life, as well as solve the exercises given by teachers.
In addition, I also hope that the Parents Association of each class will proactively coordinate with the homeroom teachers to support teachers and their children to change in order to develop, perfect their personalities, gain knowledge and soon determine the career they want to pursue. Parents must always support and create all conditions for their children to participate in extracurricular programs and experiential programs organized by each class, promptly encourage when their children change and accompany them when they encounter obstacles or distractions.
Of course, the change of each individual, of each class of students of Dinh Tien Hoang school is not an easy task. But I believe that all of us, teachers, and parents, are united, determined, and when we dare to take the plunge, we will certainly succeed."
