Mr. Pham Quoc Toan, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training and head of the delegation, said that this year's International Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad is the largest competition ever held. It also features many innovations in content and format. Accordingly, students must go through three main sections: theory, data processing, and observation (star maps, telescopes, and planetariums).
Students from Hanoi, representing Vietnam, participated in the International Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad for the first time in 2016 in India and won one gold medal and four honorable mentions.
From then on, the Ministry of Education and Training entrusted the Hanoi Department of Education and Training with the responsibility of establishing and training the team representing Vietnam to participate in international astronomy and astrophysics Olympiads.
