Cambridge has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with one of Vietnam’s most prestigious state schools, the Chu Van An Hanoi High School, making it the first Vietnamese state school to offer Cambridge International A Levels.
The MoU was signed in the presence of the Director, Department of Education and Training Hanoi, and endorsed by the Chairman of the People’s Committee Hanoi.
Established in 1908, Chu Van An High School Hanoi is one of the oldest secondary education institutions in Vietnam. It is one of the top three national high schools in the country, and is highly selective in its admissions. The school has produced many of Vietnam’s great leaders such as Pham Van Dong, Ngo Gia Tu, Nguyen Van Cu, and Le Van Luong.
Ben Schmidt, Regional Director, Southeast Asia & Pacific, Cambridge Assessment International Education, said: 'We are very glad to offer Cambridge International A Level examinations to Chu Van An Hanoi High School students, providing them with the choice to obtain international qualifications in the medium of English. Cambridge International A Levels are recognised by top universities and employers around the world. Through this memorandum, we are looking forward to helping prepare some of Vietnam’s most gifted students for further education and great success in the future.'
