The Deputy Prime Minister shared that the achievements of the students are not only a source of pride for themselves, their families, and their schools, but also a great source of inspiration for their peers. This is also a testament to the capacity of the young generation of Vietnam on the world 's major technological playgrounds.

In the context of the strong development of the 4th industrial revolution, preparing high-quality STEM human resources is a strategic requirement.

The Deputy Prime Minister stated that in the world, STEM education has become an inevitable trend, considered the leading important pillar of modern education.

Governments are stepping up investment in integrated education programs and research activities, applying science and technology, encouraging innovation in curriculum from primary school to university and postgraduate levels; equipping the young generation with basic skills to solve difficult, contemporary problems, from responding to climate change to adapting to the rapid development of science and technology, especially AI.
