Monday, May 8, 2023

YBO - The Department of Education and Training of the northern province of Yen Bai cooperated with the EDUCA Education Corporation to organise a special round of the English contest "Vi Yen Bai gioi Tieng Anh” (For Yen Bai mastering English) for primary school students in the 2022 - 2023 schoolyear.

Outstanding students receive special and first prizes.

A total of 108 outstanding students selected from the nearly 8,000 candidates in the first three rounds entered the special one.

The students took listening, reading, and writing tests which featured elementary English knowledge, interdisciplinary knowledge, and social knowledge. Ten contestants with the highest scores entered speaking tests where they communicate in English with foreign teachers from EDUPIA.

A special prize was given to Tran Tue Linh from Hung Khanh Primary School in Tran Yen district, two first to Phung Huy Lam from Tran Phu Primary School in Van Chan district and Nguyen Quynh Anh from Nguyen Trai Primary School in Yen Bai city.

This is the second year the contest has been held in the province. Through the contest, many students are found to have good English listening, speaking, and writing skills, particularly those from disadvantaged areas where they do not have favourable conditions for learning and communicating in English.
