Notably, among the students who won international medals, 5 students won gold medals twice out of a total of 7 students nationwide who achieved this achievement. The total number of international medals won by the school's students accounts for about 1/3 of the total number of medals nationwide.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Thien Nhan, Politburo member, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, assessed: Over the past 50 years, the A0 block of General Mathematics and Information Technology has had three important achievements: training talents for the country; creating an environment for teachers to do Mathematics and research on Mathematics; bringing pride to the country.

Talking about the pride that A0 mathematics - information technology has brought to Vietnam, according to Mr. Nguyen Thien Nhan, in the ASEAN bloc, Vietnam may lose to other countries in terms of GDP per capita, in terms of scientific reports, but it is the only country to have a person who has won the prestigious Fields Prize in Mathematics. Asia has a population of 3 billion people, but only 3 countries have people who have won this prize: India, Japan and Vietnam.
