Overcoming many difficulties such as: remote exam location, cold climate, time zone difference, difficult exam, elementary school students' level is different from other countries (most elementary school students in other countries study for 6 years)... but the team members have tried very hard, overcome difficulties and achieved impressive results, bringing glory to the country.
The success of participating in the WMTC 2018 exam not only promotes the learning movement of students but is also a good opportunity to share and enrich knowledge about mathematics and culture. In addition to the purpose of international integration, participating in the exam also carries out the task of promoting the image of the country, people of Vietnam in general, and Hanoi people in particular, to international friends.
Hanoi Department of Education and Training will welcome and congratulate the delegation on their achievements at Noi Bai airport at 4:45 p.m. on November 26, 2018.
