The competition ensued in an exciting, thrilling yet formal manner. The organizers created a healthy, interesting, informative playground, but they didn’t forget to prioritize the fight against the pandemic. Competitors adhered to the guidelines in terms of uniforms and the games, contributing to a fair and equal competition.

At the contest, the students went through 3 rounds, 20 objective multiple choice questions each, spanning many areas like public services, school violence, HIV/AIDS prevention, etc. The more time went on, the more cutthroat the competition became, as the students began to be eliminated.

The final results were: the first prize went to Huynh Thuc Khang High School; 2 second prizes went to Hanoi – Amsterdam High School and Nguyen Tat Thanh High School; the third prizes went to Nguyen Binh Khiem High School, Luong Van Can High School, and Tran Hung Dao High School; the consolation prizes went to Nhan Chinh High School, Hoang Mai High School, Yen Hoa High School, Ly Thai To High School, Cau Giay High School, Phan Boi Chau High School, and Nguyen Sieu Middle & High School.
The Hanoi - Amsterdam High School team receiving the second prize
Excellently getting the second prize, students from Hanoi – Amsterdam High School for the Gifted expressed their pride and joy. This was the perfect opportunity for students to learning about legal knowledge, which haven’t been a main focus in the traditional curriculum. This was a small yet memorable experience for students beyond academic competitions. We hope that in the future, middle and high school students from Hanoi in general and from Hanoi – Amsterdam High School specifically will continue to have informative experiences like this.
