Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, Rector of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Foreign Languages and Information Technology, said that these students were admitted to the university at the same time the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in Vietnam. "Their academic journey was not easy. They overcame many difficulties and challenges, endured grueling study sessions, stressful exams, and demanding projects and essays. But they did not give up. Their perseverance, willpower, and determination have been rewarded with today's results," Dr. Tuan reiterated.

The knowledge you gain at school is the foundation, but to succeed, you need to constantly train, update, and develop yourselves.

Therefore, continue to expand your knowledge, not only through books, but also from practical experiences, from the small setbacks and successes on your journey," the school leader advised.
