I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION:
Today, we are in the century of the intellectual economy, the issue of people being raised at a new level, considering human resource development as a revolution in the context of the competitive world. Education and training play an important role as a key factor, a prerequisite to contribute to economic development, social and political stability and above all contribute to improving human development index. Vietnam is strongly integrating with the world in every field, opening up many opportunities but at the same time posing new challenges for the young generation of Vietnam. In order to meet the demand for high quality human resources, following the educational socialization orientation of the education and training sector, the younger generation must constantly learn and train to develop themselves and their fields, as well as gain new knowledge and grasp the necessary skills.
Along with the trend of international integration, Math and Foreign Language are always the most essential subjects and need to be fostered early. Math and foreign language-related issues are applied in curriculum and thinking development at any age. Recognizing the importance of these subjects, in 2019, the Research Institute of Creative Education (an organization authorized by the International Organizing Committee to organize the SEAMO English Math Olympiad in Vietnam) held SEAMO exam for Vietnamese students to take part.
