The HNUE High School for Gifted Students (Vietnamese: Trường Trung học phổ thông chuyên Đại học Sư phạm), commonly known as HNUE High School (Vietnamese: Chuyên Sư phạm, CSP), is a public magnet school in Hanoi, Vietnam. The school was founded in 1966 as a national educational institution to nurture Vietnamese students who excelled at mathematics. HNUE High School is the second oldest magnet high school in Vietnam and one of the seven national-level high schools for the gifted.
The school and HUS High School for Gifted Students are often interchangeably ranked the first in National Science Olympiads for high school students and National University Entrance Examinations. Its students have won about 100 medals at the International Science Olympiads. Its alumni include 4 ministers in the Vietnamese governments, leading scientists at top domestic and foreign universities, notable Vietnamese entrepreneurs and recognized artists.
HNUE High School is the most selective school in Vietnam. The 2022 acceptance rate is 5.5% (1 seat for every 18 applicants) and for some classes, the acceptance rate is 3% (1 slot for 31 applicants). Students are chosen either through exceptional academic achievement in junior secondary school (10% of intake) or through a rigorous nationwide entrance exam (90%).
The school’s alumni include key leaders at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam, the Ministry of Information and Communications of Vietnam, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi Medical University, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, researchers and professors at Oxford University, MIT, Stanford University, NASA, National University of Singapore, Sorbonne University, Microsoft, Google... business leaders and founders of McKinsey & Company, Sabeco, Bkav (company), FPT Corporation, Gemadept…
Foundation and history
During the Vietnam War, aware of the important role of sciences for future of the country, a group of Vietnam leading scientists including Lê Văn Thiêm, Hoàng Tụy and Tạ Quang Bửu suggested that the government open up selective programs to nurture talented students, and to encourage them to follow science in their later years at universities and professions. As a premier national institution for training of science teachers, Hanoi National University of Education was selected to organize such a program. On December 24, 1966, at the height of the Vietnam War, the first class for gifted students was inaugurated with 33 mathematically inclined students, who were chosen from thousands of high school students in North Vietnam, at the evacuation site of the university in Phù Cừ District, Hưng Yên Province. This class was the foundation of HNUE High School.
The history of Hanoi National University of Education High School is divided three periods:
From 1966 to 1995, the special math classes were under the administration of the faculty of Mathematics, Hanoi National University of Education.
In 1995, the school expanded to include a specialized stream in Computer Science. It was then renamed Specialized School for Maths and Computer Science.
In 2005, the school started offering classes specialized in Literature, Physics, Chemistry and Biology and was named "High School for Gifted Students of Hanoi National University of Education".
The HNUE High School was honored with many national awards, including the third degree Labor Decoration award in 1986, the second degree Labor Decoration in 1996, and most recently the first degree Labor Decoration (2001).
Education
= Admissions
=In the first period of establishment of the school in the 80s, HNUE High School for Gifted Students did not directly handle the admission process; this work was taken by the Ministry of Education and Training. During this period, students with outstanding abilities in mathematics (only in Northern region, from Nam Dinh province northwards) were nominated by the region to the Ministry of Education and Training before participating in an entrance exam. Students who passed the exam would be divided two schools: High School for Gifted Students, Hanoi University of Science and HNUE High School for Gifted Students or HSGS High School for Gifted Students.
Since the end of 1980, with the wave of eradication of subsidy mechanism, HNUE High School for Gifted Students and HSGS High School for Gifted Students directly handle their own admission process.
The school's entrance examinations are held in June, attracts students from all over the country. Candidates must take two compulsory papers (Vietnamese language, Mathematics) and one elective paper (from Mathematics, Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English studies, Informatics, Geography ) for their specialization. These exams are highly competitive.
= Education model
=The students are organized into specialized streams in one of the following subjects: Mathematics, Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science and English. Each stream is offered an accelerated curriculum on the subject of specialization. Seminars are held during the school year, at which students can discuss with national and international scientists and researchers.
Extra-curricular activities include sports, camping and clubs.
