Participating in welcoming parents and students were Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dang Thi Thu Huong (Vice Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Quang Lieu (Principal of the High School for Gifted Students in Social Sciences and Humanities), teachers, staff from functional departments, and a large number of volunteer students.
The school has allocated two registration rooms for students in the Literature specialization class, one for the History specialization class, and one for the Geography specialization class. The process of checking and receiving applications was conducted scientifically, quickly, and accurately.
According to Associate Professor Dr. Dang Thi Thu Huong, this year's entrance exam for the 10th grade at the High School for Social Sciences and Humanities has 1,509 registered candidates. Of these, the Literature specialization class has the highest number of registered candidates with 928. The History and Geography specialization classes have 314 and 267 registered candidates respectively. The school is recruiting 140 students, with 70 for Literature, 35 for History, and 35 for Geography.
A new feature in the 2024 10th grade entrance exam compared to previous years is that candidates will only take a 150-minute essay exam in their specialized subject. For the qualifying subjects, the school will review applications based on the average semester grades in Mathematics, Literature, and Foreign Language.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and the High School for Gifted Students in Social Sciences and Humanities, Vice Principal Dang Thi Thu Huong extends congratulations to all students who have successfully passed the entrance exam to grade 10, and thanks the parents for their trust and for choosing to send their children to study at the High School for Gifted Students. With the mission of discovering, nurturing, and creating a source of talent in social sciences and humanities for the country, the High School for Gifted Students in Social Sciences and Humanities is a pioneer in educating and training excellent students in the field of social sciences and humanities; combining in-depth knowledge education with enhanced foreign language and information technology skills for comprehensive development, independence for growth, dynamism and creativity, confidence and compassion, adaptability for development, and setting the most suitable goals for the future.
Associate Professor Dr. Dang Thi Thu Huong and Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Quang Lieu met and chatted with parents and students during the enrollment day.
Filled with joy and excitement, Nguyen Nhat Ha's parents (a 10th-grade student specializing in Literature) shared: “Since 7th grade, my daughter has researched and dreamed of one day becoming a Literature student at the High School for Social Sciences and Humanities, and she made this her only choice in the recent 10th-grade entrance exam. My family fully supports and facilitates her dream. Although the school is newly established, it has quickly affirmed its brand nationwide. Therefore, my family is extremely happy and delighted that she received the acceptance letter from the school. Today, accompanying her to enrollment, we received a warm and thoughtful welcome from the school's administration, and the friendliness and affection of the teachers and volunteer students. I believe that my daughter will have a joyful and successful time studying at the school of her dreams.”
Nguyen Nhat Ha (second from the right) is very happy that her best friend from junior high school encouraged her to register for the entrance exam and both passed, getting into the Literature specialized class at the High School for Social Sciences and Humanities.
Immediately after all students completed the enrollment procedures, students and parents participated in a get-together and meeting at the Auditorium on the 8th floor of building E.
Here, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Quang Lieu (Principal of the Specialized High School), on behalf of the school's Board of Directors, gave an overview of the school's history, objectives, training programs, and outstanding activities. Professor Nguyen Quang Lieu proudly shared: "As a relatively young specialized high school compared to others nationwide, the Specialized High School has achieved resounding success in training and nurturing gifted students. Most of our students have been admitted to top universities in Vietnam or received prestigious scholarships to study abroad. In addition, many of our students have won high awards in scientific research, innovation, arts, and sports. This demonstrates our philosophy of seamlessly combining in-depth and comprehensive education."
Specifically, with the "talent nurturing from high school" policy of Hanoi National University, all students from grade 11 onwards will be able to pre-register for some university-level credits at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, as well as other universities under Hanoi National University. With this policy, students not only get to experience the university learning environment, learn about their favorite fields of study, and better orient their careers, but also shorten their university studies, saving time and money.
Concluding the exchange and sharing session, Principal Nguyen Quang Lieu expressed his gratitude to the students and parents for their trust in choosing and being committed to the High School for Social Sciences and Humanities. He assured them that the students and parents would never be disappointed with their choice. He also emphasized that the High School for Social Sciences and Humanities always maintains a disciplined yet humane environment. Students must strictly adhere to school regulations, but they will live and study in a home rich in love, care, and sharing between teachers and students, among students themselves, and with the wider community.
Established in 2019, the High School for Gifted Students in Social Sciences and Humanities (affiliated with the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi) is a training institution aiming to identify and select students with exceptional talent, ability, and passion for specialized subjects in the fields of Social Sciences and Humanities; and to create conditions for students to develop their research, creativity, and exploration skills in literature, history, geography, and related fields.
The school consistently creates exceptional learning opportunities and environments for outstanding students; developing their broad thinking skills and problem-solving abilities through challenging learning models and methods. It also serves as a training ground for high-quality human resources for national development.
Let's take a look at the radiant faces of the students and the eyes filled with happiness and pride of their parents as they enrolled their children at the High School for Social Sciences and Humanities on the morning of October 7, 2024.
