That is Bui Khoi Nguyen, a student at An Binh Primary School, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City. Khoi Nguyen achieved the highest score in primary school mathematics in the world in the 2023 Pearson Edexcel International General Certificate of Secondary Education exam. This means that Khoi Nguyen is in the top 1% of students in the world who achieved this result.
Khoi Nguyen said that he is passionate about numbers, so he really likes Math and is attracted to finding ways to solve difficult problems. According to him, studying the integrated English program from a young age has helped him experience a new way of learning and improve his knowledge in English. To get the best Math score in the world, he always studies by himself. When he finds it difficult, he asks his brother who also won the highest prize in elementary Math in the world in 2022.
In addition to Khoi Nguyen, Le Dinh Trung Hieu, a student at Saigon Practical High School (Saigon University), achieved the highest scores in Vietnam in both Math and Science (secondary school). Trung Hieu said that to achieve high results in this certification exam, he always actively studied on his own, mastering knowledge from lectures given by foreign teachers. In addition, he also consulted many exam solutions and searched for information from the rich and diverse learning resources of the integrated English program.
According to Trung Hieu (currently studying in grade 10 at HCMC Gifted High School), he joined the Integrated English program in grade 4. The teachers are friendly and willing to explain what students want to learn and explore. Therefore, in addition to acquiring knowledge of the subjects, he also experienced new learning methods that encourage students to be creative and think independently...
At high school level, Pham Quang Triet, a 12th grade student (Gia Dinh High School) also achieved impressive results with the highest score in Vietnam in Mathematics in the International GCSE exam.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, emphasized that in recent years, Ho Chi Minh City has always strived to be a leading city in the country in many fields, including education. "Improving English proficiency for students in the city while simultaneously implementing the teaching of Math and Science subjects in English according to an international standard curriculum framework, with the output being internationally recognized certificates, is also one of the goals that the city's education has focused on in recent times. The fact that Ho Chi Minh City has continuously led the country in the results of the English graduation exam for many years is a testament to these policies," said Mr. Hieu.
According to Mr. Hieu, in order for the city's students to be exposed to advanced international standard curriculum, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has approved the Department of Education and Training to implement the project "Teaching and learning Math, Science and English integrating English and Vietnamese curriculum".
The program is built on the scientific integration of two educational programs, absorbing the advantages of the program from a country with advanced education, the UK, while still respecting the cultural identity of the Vietnamese people. After completing the program, students can achieve the skills and knowledge standards of the Vietnamese program according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, and can take exams and achieve certificates that are widely recognized in the world.
The Director of the Department of Education and Training said that the fact that students participated in the certification exam, many of whom achieved high results, demonstrated the quality of the Integrated English program and the direction of the city's education sector in promoting the improvement of English proficiency.
