Speaking at the opening ceremony, the leader of the Department of Education and Training also affirmed: Encouraging high school students to conduct research in science, technology, and engineering, applying their learned knowledge to solve practical problems in life, not only aims to develop students' abilities but also contributes to improving the quality of teaching and learning in schools.

Through scientific and technological research activities, innovation in the organization and methods of teaching, testing, and evaluating student learning outcomes in schools has been promoted.

The competition also serves as a valuable platform for intellectual and scientific exchange among students and teachers from junior and senior high schools in Nghe An province. From there, it gradually establishes connections, bringing scientists and laboratories from universities closer to high schools, helping students explore and research science, and creating a foundation and fueling the movement for scientific and technological innovation in schools.
