In his opening speech, Mr. Pham Ngoc Thuong, Deputy Minister of Education and Training, emphasized that this year's contest took place in a very special and exciting context, in the atmosphere of the whole country celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day.
The contest also takes place in the context of Resolution 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation, which was issued about 3 months ago and is considered as "Contract 10" in science and technology.
According to Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong, scientists and experts assess that when Resolution 57 comes into effect, the education sector must bring science, technology, and innovation into schools from the smallest activities, from the simplest but possibly the boldest imaginations.
Thereby, forming in students dreams, aspirations, innovative thinking and the spirit of a scientist from high school.
The Deputy Minister of Education and Training also highly appreciated the efforts of local Departments of Education and Training in organizing the grassroots science and technology research competition, thereby selecting projects to participate at the national level.
"Organizing competitions at the grassroots level is extremely important. The issue is not whether students win high or low prizes, but more importantly, it is to create a movement for innovation, scientific research, research on science and technology, and innovation," said Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong.
