The secret to “hunting” the international medal

From 2019 through 2022, Phu Tho students have participated on the national team in the International Biology Olympiad for four years in a row and all earned international medals. This is still a “invincible” feat in the “arena” of capturing the International Medal of Biology across the country at this time.

Ms. Vu Thi Hanh, a teacher, examines the work of students on the Provincial Biology team.

The province“s four international Biology medals, including one Silver medal and three Bronze medals, were”hunted" by outstanding Biology students at Hung Vuong Gifted High School (Viet Tri City) who have been fostered by Ms. Vu Thi Hanh - Head of Biology Group, Team Leader of Fostering Excellent Students in Biology.

According to Ms. Hanh, strong results over time need a mix of numerous resources and circumstances. Characteristics Biology is a science that incorporates knowledge of many other scientific areas; students must be able to think mathematically as well as understand Physics, Chemistry, History, Geography, Literature, and so on. So, prior to begin with, students must have good thinking, good attributes, enthusiasm, and drive in order to manage high-level, wide information with great difficulty at the international level.

Furthermore, teachers in charge must have student-specific orientations, strategies, and procedures. First, you must “lay” a sturdy foundation. That is the foundation for deducing sophisticated application questions. The students are next instructed on how to think, reason, read papers, and make judgements. Finally, the students are instructed on how to apply the knowledge they have gained to the test in a cohesive manner.

Provincial Biology team members at practice time

The accomplishments attained throughout the years provide inspiration and enthusiasm for instructors and students to continue to reach and retain that outcome. This is a shared success in the province"s educational cause, owing to the direction, proximity, and facilitation of all levels.

The results of Phu Tho students in the International Biology Olympiad in particular, and other courses in general, continue to support the quality of general education, highlighting the international standing of Phu Tho Biology students. The accomplishments made throughout the years will serve as an inspiration and incentive for future generations of students to pursue their interest in this field.
