Considered a prestigious international playground, World Scholar's Cup offers students the opportunity to connect globally. They will interact, learn and make friends with many talented students from more than 70 countries and territories around the world.

The competition is also a golden opportunity for the journey to hunt for scholarships to study abroad because the World Scholar's Cup medals are always highly appreciated by the world's leading universities such as the US, UK, Germany, Canada... when considering admission.

Through the debate competition, children are able to cultivate the necessary skills of a future leader such as teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking, debating and practice English skills at a high level.

Especially through the process of researching, learning, evaluating and synthesizing information to come up with correct arguments, children will have their knowledge expanded thanks to fascinating social issues from the World Scholar's Cup.
