The Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training also presented decisions to appoint the principal to Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhiep; appoint the vice principals of Chu Van An High School for the Gifted to Ms. Tran Thi Tuyen and Mr. Le Dai Hai.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhiep, Principal of Chu Van An High School for the Gifted, said that this is a big change in the journey of building and developing the school. “Chu Van An High School for the Gifted is entering a new phase, with many challenges and requiring strong efforts from each person. With the model of a specialized school, each person working and studying at the school will have to be more diligent, more dedicated and more professional,” Ms. Nhiep said.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Tran The Cuong, Director of Hanoi Department of Education and Training, congratulated the staff and teachers and students of Chu Van An High School for the Gifted.

According to Mr. Cuong, reorganizing Chu Van An High School into a specialized school will help the school maximize its potential and affirm its position in the education system of the capital and the whole country.

“This is not only a change in name but also a strong commitment of the city to the development of high-quality education, meeting the needs of training talents for the country and the capital. This transformation will open up new opportunities for the school's students, creating conditions for them to access an intensive learning environment, maximizing their abilities in specialized fields,” said Mr. Cuong.

In particular, Mr. Tran The Cuong requested Chu Van An High School for the Gifted to focus on developing an operational plan that complies with the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training on the organization and operation of specialized high schools; build a school with modern facilities, a team of excellent teachers, and become a high-quality leading educational institution in Hanoi and the whole country; develop and implement a school development roadmap for each school year, in accordance with current regulations.

Specifically, from the 2025-2026 school year, the school will only enroll students in specialized classes; at the same time, it will pay attention to ensuring the quality of education for the remaining non-specialized classes. In the 2027-2028 school year, 100% of the school's classes will be specialized classes. From the 2029-2030 school year, the school will expand its scale with 60 specialized classes, while also researching and implementing the Vietnamese Studies program and a number of training programs with international certificates...

Chu Van An High School for the Gifted was established in 1908 under the name of Protectorate High School. In 1945, the school was renamed Chu Van An National High School and has kept this name until now. The school is also known to many people as Buoi School, where many generations of politicians, scientists, educators, artists, economists, and famous armed forces heroes were trained.
