On the morning of November 8, in Hanoi, the Ministry of Education and Training (GD&T) organized a conference to summarize the training and fostering of teams participating in the regional and international Olympics in the 2016-2025 period. The conference not only recognized ten successful years of Vietnams cutting-edge education but also raised many concerns in the strategy of discovering, training and using young talents.

In the past 10 years, Vietnamese teams won 362 medals (112 Gold, 140 Silver, 89 Bronze and 21 Certificates of Merit), an increase of 48 medals compared to the previous period. Vietnam has for many years been in the group of 10 countries with the best achievements at the Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Information Olympiads. Many Vietnamese students have achieved excellent results such as Nguyen Phuong Thao (highest score in the world at the 2018 Biology Olympiad), Ngo Quy Dang (Gold medal at the 2020 Math Olympics) or Vo Hoang Hai (Gold medal at the 2022 Physics Olympics when he was only in 10th grade). That achievement demonstrates the great efforts of the education sector in discovering, training and promoting talents - a task associated with the strategy of developing high-quality human resources to serve industrialization and modernization of the country. The work of directing, setting questions, proctoring and marking exams is carried out seriously and objectively; The selection and training of the national team is organized systematically and transparently, creating motivation for students and teachers. Reward policies, direct university admission and attention from the central to local levels have contributed to encouraging the movement of learning and scientific research among students. During the period 2021-2024, the Party and State awarded 2 First-Class Labor Medals, 34 Second-Class Medals, 36 Third-Class Medals and many Certificates of Merit to outstanding groups and individuals. Outstanding Vietnamese team wins 4 gold medals at the 57th International Chemistry Olympiad. Concerns about talent studying abroad and staying abroad. From 2016 to 2024, Vietnam has 220 students winning medals at regional and international Olympics. Of these, 146 students, accounting for about 66%, chose to study abroad in countries such as the US, Singapore, France, Australia, England... Most of them continue to work abroad due to more favorable remuneration conditions and career development opportunities in an advanced scientific environment. Mr. Huynh Van Chuong expressed his concern about this reality. According to him, students who win Olympic prizes not only bring home medals but are also talents with the potential for long-term contributions, if given the right conditions to return and develop in the country. The important thing is how to give them the opportunity to return and contribute to the cause of building the country, he emphasized. Explaining the reason, Mr. Chuong said that Vietnam currently lacks a separate mechanism for training and using talented students; Recruitment policies, incentives, and the domestic research environment still do not meet expectations; At the same time, there is not a strong enough connection network to attract and promote the intelligence of former Olympic contestants. Faced with that reality, the Ministry of Education and Training is coordinating with relevant ministries and branches to build a National Strategy on discovering, training, fostering, using and rewarding young talents, aiming to form a long-term, synchronous mechanism. In addition, the Ministry plans to establish a network connecting Vietnamese Olympic alumni to maintain connections, share knowledge and promote cooperation in research, teaching and innovation.
