On May 11, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) received news that all 8 students of the Vietnamese national team participating in the 2025 Asian Physics Olympiad (APhO) won medals.

This is the first batch of students to study entirely according to the 2018 GeneralEducation Program. This result puts Vietnam in the group of 5 countries and territories with the highest achievements.

The three students who won gold medals were Nguyen The Quan (grade 12 student, Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, Nghe An province); Nguyen Cong Vinh (grade 12 student, Bac Ninh High School for the Gifted, Bac Ninh province); Truong Duc Dung (grade 12 student, High School for the Gifted in Natural Sciences , University of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University, Hanoi).

The two bronze medalists were Tran Trung Hieu (grade 12 student, Quoc Hoc Hue High School for the Gifted, Hue city) and Nguyen Ngoc Phuong Anh (grade 12 student, Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted, Hanoi city).

The 25th Asian Physics Olympiad took place from May 4-12, 2025 in Dhahran city, Saudi Arabia, with the participation of 30 delegations from 29 countries and territories, gathering a total of 208 contestants.

According to the APhO Olympic regulations, students taking the exam will take two theoretical exams (5 hours) and practical exams (5 hours). This year's theoretical exam is based on practical and modern applications of Physics such as: The precession of the Earth's axis causes global climate effects; Spin waves related to quantum computers and the Greenhouse effect. The practical exam is based on the electromagnetic induction effect and its application in Induction cookers.

With impressive achievements, the Vietnamese delegation is honored to be in the group of 5 countries and territories with the highest results, along with: China, South Korea, Chinese Taipei and the Russian Federation. Compared to 2024 (1 Gold Medal, 1 Silver Medal and 6 Bronze Medals), the results in 2025 are considered outstanding and worthy of pride.
