About the competition

To realize directives from the Central Secretariat, like Directive no. 42 on 24/03/2015 regarding “Strengthen the Party’s leadership in youth education on revolutionary ideals, ethics and cultural lifestyles in 2015 - 2030”, the Ho Chi Minh Youth Union worked with the Ministry of Education and Training to hold the 4th “Proud Vietnam” competition about our people’s history and culture. 

The competition’s content included general knowledge of Vietnam history and culture; Local, ethnic history and culture; History of the Communist Party of Vietnam; Biography and cause of President Ho Chi Minh, History of the Ho Chi Minh Youth Union, the Vietnamese Student Association and student activism; 35 years’ achievements in national renovations (1986-2021); New perspectives and initiatives on cultural and human developments in the Party’s 8th Congress’ Documents; Cultural development strategies to 2030.

With the competition, the participants not only acquired valuable knowledge but also ignited their own passion for history and patriotism. This would, as a result, lead to a more responsible community to contribute to construction and protection of our Homeland.

“The “Proud Vietnam” competition left me with a fresh new experience. As its name suggests, the contest has sparked in me a sense of national pride. The content of the questions spanned from the times of Hùng Vương kings to the resistance years, showing our people’s evolution from a small tribe of the past to the strong people of today, all requiring a high degree of education in the participants. Every time I read these questions on our Vietnamese ancestors’ heroism over various stages of history, I got to bask in the fiery sense of self-pride for my nation. This has been an interesting and helpful project, and I believe that if it can be positively spread among our people, Youth Union members from all corners of the country would participate in this contest more. “ - told Lê Đàm Duyên from 12 Physics 1. 

On behalf of the school's Youth Union, Ams Wide Web’s reporter crew would like to congratulate each Youth Branch on finishing the contest. We hope that everyone has had a good time and exciting lessons at “Proud Vietnam”, along with fueling each individual’s national pride.
