Pascal School with new, modern facilities
Today, in the context of a rapidly developing world, we are entering the era of intelligence and knowledge economy. Education and training play an important role in improving the human development index, which is a prerequisite for contributing to economic development and socio-political stability.
Along with the trend of international integration, Mathematics and Foreign Languages are always the most basic subjects and need to be nurtured early. Recognizing the importance of these subjects, in 2019, the Institute of Creative Education Science Research (a unit authorized by the International Organizing Committee to organize the SEAMO English Math Olympiad in Vietnam) organized the SEAMO exam for Vietnamese students to participate.
The SEAMO English Math Olympiad is built on the Ministry of Education of Singapore’s plan to develop key competencies in the 21st century. The SEAMO Academic Council is chaired by Mr. Terry Chew, author of the famous book series “Awakening Mathematical Talent” for students of all levels.
