On this results, Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu – Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training – said:

“The positive results these students have achieved is a proof of the ability of HCMC students in particular and Vietnamese students in general. It is of note that students of the Integrated programme learn not only to use English purely as a second language, but they have to be able to use English in a more academic manner, and to learn Maths and Science in English, through which they can develop their scientific thinking, creativity, problem solving skills and apply Maths and Science knowledge to real life.”
