The secret of valedictorian
At the ceremony to honor students with outstanding achievements, Bui Khoi Nguyen, a 6/3 student at An Binh Primary School (Thu Duc City) - the candidate with the highest Math score in the world at the primary level, said that his method of learning integrated Math program is to thoroughly study the content in the textbook.
"I often explore new ways to solve problems other than the methods taught by teachers in class. In class, I focus on the lesson as much as possible, and review at home to grasp the knowledge. I want to become a programmer in the future because I really like Math and Science," Khoi Nguyen shared.
As for Le Dinh Trung Hieu, a former student of Saigon Practical High School (District 5), currently a 10th grader of Chemistry-Natural Sciences, High School for the Gifted (VNU-HCM) - the candidate with the highest achievement in Vietnam in both Math and Science, supplementing his knowledge of natural subjects in English helps him to be more confident in his future career orientation.

According to the representative of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, the excellent achievements of Ho Chi Minh City students have proven the quality of the integrated English program and the right direction of the city's education sector in improving English proficiency and subjects taught in English, while encouraging students to take international certification exams as a necessary preparation for future study and work plans.

Mr. David Albon, Director of International Programs, Pearson Education Group, acknowledged that the above impressive results were achieved thanks to the dedication of the teaching staff, the right investment in educational solutions of EMG Education and most importantly, the commendable learning spirit of students in the integrated English program.
Over the years, students of the integrated English program have achieved many high international achievements thanks to being given access to new educational technologies, helping them to be more confident when integrating into the world.
" Technological advances are likely to make some jobs no longer exist in the next twenty years. However, what will really drive us forward are very "human" skills such as collaboration, communication and creativity. These skills have been deeply integrated into the integrated English program, helping students develop comprehensive skills, thereby expanding career opportunities," said a representative of Pearson Education Group.
The iPrimary International Primary, iLowerSecondary International Secondary and GCSE International Baccalaureate certificates are awarded by the Pearson Edexcel Examination Board, part of the Pearson Education Group and are widely recognized around the world.
