The 65th International Mathematical Olympiad takes place from July 11 to July 22 in the UK, with 109 teams from 109 countries and territories participating. Out of 609 contestants, awards will be given to 50 percent of the participants.
The Ministry of Education and Training reported that this year's exam posed significant challenges for all participants, including Vietnamese students, with two combinatorial problems: one of moderate difficulty and one of high difficulty. Despite facing some challenges related to the exam content and the health of a few students, the Vietnamese team achieved commendable results and was highly regarded in the region. This outcome reinforces the effectiveness of the Ministry's strategy for identifying, selecting, and training talented students.
