The launch ceremony was livestreamed from the Coast Guard Region 2 Command and the Hue City Department of Education and Training, in collaboration with participating secondary schools.
The competition aims to encourage students and deepen their knowledge of Vietnam’s history of nation-building and defence, the traditions of the Vietnam People’s Army and the Vietnam Coast Guard, as well as the country’s policies and laws concerning its seas and islands. The competition seeks to foster students’ patriotism and strengthen their awareness and responsibility for protecting the nation’s sovereignty over its seas and islands.
Participating in this contest, in addition to learning about Vietnam’s seas and islands, students are also introduced to legal provisions on drug prevention and control and school violence prevention, while developing practical skills for dealing with situations that may arise in the school environment.
For the 2026-2027 academic year, the contest will be held across 11 communes and wards in Hue City, comprising two online competitions in eight communes and wards and one in-person competition in the remaining three.
Under the online format, secondary school students in Kim Long, Huong An, Kim Tra, Huong Tra, Vy Da, My Thuong, Duong No, and Hoa Chau wards will participate in a multiple-choice quiz via an online platform using internet-connected devices. The official competition will run from 3 p.m. on October 30 to 3 p.m. on November 6, 2026.
For the in-person competition, 100 lower secondary school students from the 3 wards of Thuan Hoa, An Cuu, and Thuy Xuan will compete head-to-head in a multiple-choice quiz in the ‘Ringing the Golden Bell’ model.
After various rounds, the organizing committee will select students to advance to the regional final, contributing to fostering a love for Vietnam’s seas and islands and a stronger sense of responsibility among students for safeguarding national sovereignty.
