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. HNUE High School ranks second nationally in the 2012 Vietnam university admission ranking.
Established as a school for mathematics talents, in recent years, HNUE high school's specialized education have spanned over other subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, English and literature
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, during the height of the Vietnam War, the class for gifted students was inaugurated and the first class opened up for 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 precursor of HNUE High School.
The development of Hanoi National University of Education High School is divided three periods:
The HNUE High School was honored with national awards, including the 3rd degree Labor Decoration award in 1986, the 2nd degree Labor Decoration in 1996, and most recently the 1st degree Labor Decoration (2001).
Admissions
In the first period of establishment of the school in the 1980', HNUE High School for Gifted Students did not directly handle the admission process; this work was taken by the Ministry of Education and Training. In that period of time, students with outstanding abilities in mathematics (only in Northern region, from Nam Dinh province northwards) were presented by the region to the Ministry of Education and Training and then participated in an entrance exam to gifted school. 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 countries. Candidates must take three compulsory papers on the first day of testing(Vietnamese language, Mathematics and English) and on the second day, one elective paper (from Mathematics, Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English studies ) for the subject of 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 and Computer Science. 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.
Teaching staff
Members of the staff often provide annual training for national Olympiad teams for international competitions, and have been consulted for developing textbooks and curriculum for Vietnamese national high school education. In addition, many have received the Excellent Teacher Award from the government for their dedication to education.
