Eight Vietnamese students will compete at the 15th Asian Physics Olympiad 2014 (AphO) in Singapore from May 11-15, according to the Department for Testing and Education Quality Accreditation under Ministry of Education and Training.
They come from Vietnam National University in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi Amsterdam Gifted High School, Luong Van Tuy Gifted High School in Ninh Binh province, and Phan Boi Chau Gifted High School in Nghe An province.
Last year, all eight members of the AphO Vietnamese team were awarded, including two golds, two silvers, one bronze and three certificates of merit.
The two gold medals went to Bui Quang Tu from Hanoi Amsterdam Gifted High School and Ngo Phi Long from Son La Gifted High School, both in the 12th grade.
