The first National High School Artificial Intelligence Olympiad took place on June 1-2, organized by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), the Vietnam Association for Information Technology (VINAIN), the Institute for Innovation and Quality Assessment, and the University of Technology (VNU-Hanoi).
This is the first time Vietnam has organized a national competition on Artificial Intelligence (AI) exclusively for high school students, aiming to select a national team to participate in the International Olympiad on Artificial Intelligence (IOAI) to take place in Beijing, China in August.

The first National Artificial Intelligence Olympiad Finals for Students in 2025 gathered 98 excellent candidates from 28 high schools in 17 provinces/cities, 4 specialized high schools belonging to universities across the country.
Candidates take the exam in a 6-hour individual practice format, with two exams focusing on computer vision and natural language processing (NLP) - two key areas in Artificial Intelligence.
During the first 5 hours, candidates work on a public dataset. During the last hour, candidates can only use a private dataset provided by the board of examiners. This is a decisive stage, requiring candidates not only to have an optimal algorithm but also to clearly understand the requirements of the problem and the ability to generalize the model.

The top 10 students with the highest achievements will be nominated to join the Vietnamese team to participate in the International Artificial Intelligence Olympiad - IOAI 2025 in Beijing from August 2 to 9.
Professor Le My Phong, Deputy Director of the Department of Quality Management (Ministry of Education and Training) commented that compared to previous exams, this model is very new.
“Especially, when we saw the composition, we were very moved because in addition to big cities, there were also children from remote areas, including 7th graders participating in the contest,” said Mr. Phong.
Highly appreciating the competition and congratulating the top prize winners, Mr. Phong hopes that they will have an even greater mission of bringing the Vietnamese flag to international competitions in the future. He hopes that teachers and students will win the highest prize in this international competition.
