In addition, there are 3 students who passed the entrance exams to military schools such as the Cryptography Academy, Information Officer, Military Engineering Officer, 5 candidates passed the entrance exams to Hanoi University of Science and Technology, 3 students passed the entrance exams to the Academy of Posts and Telecommunications, 4 students passed the entrance exams to the University of Construction, National Economics University, Hanoi Academy of Finance... The number of students with scores of 23 points or higher accounts for nearly 70%. Even the candidate who did not register for university but studied abroad in Korea had an exam score of nearly 21 points, enough to enter a top university.
Previously, the 2006 - 2009 course of Nam Dan 2 High School was not highly rated in terms of quality when the entrance score was just over 10 points. But for this reason, right after enrolling, the school paid great attention to teaching and learning.
For example, in class 12C1, although the homeroom teacher and the subject teachers mostly live far from school, having to travel back and forth nearly 50 kilometers every day, the teachers have never neglected their teaching at school. To improve the quality of the class, the teachers proactively differentiate students according to each grade, subject and depending on each student's ability. In particular, if a student is weak, the teacher will give extra tutoring, and if the student is good, they will continue to help them get used to many difficult types of exercises.

The achievement of class 12C1 is also the highest achievement of Nam Dan 2 High School in the past few years. Besides, the school also has 20 students with National High School Exam scores of 25 points or higher.
Teacher Tran Thi Thuy - Homeroom teacher of class 12 C1 shared: "Grade 12 is a year of hard work and tireless efforts of the class. I calculated that in just the last few months of semester 2, we had to practice more than 50 questions for each subject. In addition, the class and the school also organized many mock exams for students to practice and get familiar with the exam."
Comparing the mock tests and the results of the National High School Exam, teacher Tran Thi Thuy added: Actually, when I received the results of the students, I was not too surprised because I believe in my students' abilities. Here, the students really have many difficulties, 80% of the students in the class have parents who work in agriculture, but in return, they are very determined and all have the same goal of studying well, passing the university entrance exam to escape poverty. As teachers in the classroom, we have to understand each student's situation and strengths to help them orient their work and choose the right career.
“Compared to many other schools in the delta, students at Nam Dan 2 High School have a very difficult life, located in a flooded area. Therefore, this result is very valuable. This is also a great source of motivation to encourage students in the school, giving them more confidence to continue to strive and achieve even higher achievements in the coming school years.”
