Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Hoang Duc Minh, Director of the Student Affairs Department, the Ministry of Education and Training, and Head of the Organizing Committee, emphasized that physical development for students is one of the key goals in the innovation strategy, contributing to the comprehensive education of Vietnamese people. The Ministry of Education and Training has always affirmed that, alongside teaching knowledge and personality, physical training is an essential task in general schools. School sports activities not only contribute to improving health but also foster willpower, discipline, and team spirit. From there, it contributes to forming the personality of students - the future masters of the country.
