On the morning of September 5, students across the country attended the opening ceremony of the 2025-2026 school year.
Returning to Chu Van An High School for the Gifted (Hanoi) at the opening ceremony this year, Nguyen Viet Hung - valedictorian of the national high school graduation exam in 4 admission blocks A01, D01, C01, D11 and Le Duc Minh - valedictorian of school level C03 could not help but feel moved and honored.
"The achievements we strive to achieve are not too sublime, I just hope that I can be a loyal brother and sister to inspire and pass on experiences to them. From there, students in the new course can continue to strive, and can even achieve even higher achievements, contributing to the long tradition of the school" - Duc Minh expressed.
As for Viet Hung, when I return to visit this school, I hope to be an example for the students of the lower school to try to practice, not to find it difficult but to take a step back.
Despite achieving high results in the high school graduation exam, Viet Hung and Duc Minh both believe that their secret is to study and review closely following the content of the 2018 General Education Program, especially the knowledge in Canh Dieu textbooks - a set of books that the school has trusted, selected and used for many years.
"Knowledge in books is the foundation, you just need to apply it correctly and complete enough exercises in textbooks to be able to grasp 8-9 points. Taking the test now is not only a time to review knowledge, but I feel like I am a person who is capable of solving practical problems in many fields such as finance" - Duc Minh expressed.
As a Math lover, Duc Minh said: "The Canh Dieu Math textbook has positive changes and most importantly, it is beautiful for students. Old textbooks, mostly colorless books, are often black and white. With the Canh Dieu book series with full colors and illustrative images. Those things help students connect knowledge in Math books with practical knowledge".
As for Viet Hung, I am impressed with the color printing method, clearly distributing each category, vivid illustrative materials of the textbook series according to the 2018 General Education Program.
The eye-catching, simple, easy-to-see presentation helps learners like us reduce pressure, not feeling that this is a book with special knowledge Viet Hung commented.
textbooks are a companion for teachers and students
Ms. Nguyen Thi Giang - the homeroom teacher of grade 12 majoring in English, Chu Van An High School for the Gifted, assessed that when implementing the 2018 General Education Program, textbooks were an important learning material, a guideline for the teaching staff to organize teaching activities.
Tec books under the new curriculum have a close connection between academic knowledge as well as practical content. This helps students develop logical thinking and life skills, and understand social problems. The application parts are all very close, close to reality, related to the lives around us" - Ms. Giang added.
Regarding the classification of the difficulty and ease of exercises in the SGK, Ms. Giang said that some exercises in the SGK have reached the level of application, following a relatively open mindset. Accompanying the 2 regular textbooks is also a thematic book, including a large amount of in-depth, advanced knowledge, meeting the needs of each student.
In the 2024-2025 school year, Chu Van An High School for the Gifted has achieved many outstanding achievements, the main mark of which is the 2025 high school graduation exam. In today's opening ceremony of the new school year, the school honored 29 students who are valedictorians of all majors.
"To get that result, each school has its own review plan and strategy, but partly thanks to the choice of textbooks. For all subjects, the majority of schools choose Canh Dieu textbooks with instructions, structure, and content layout to help students have the ability to study better on their own" - Ms. Nguyen Thi Nghiep - Principal of the school shared.
