Through a well-planned and scientific development strategy, the school has overcome challenges, affirmed its reputation, and gained the trust of students and parents. It consistently produces the highest number of winners in city-level, national, and international academic competitions.

Amid the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the school has prioritized STEM education, enhancing training quality in science and technology to meet integration and development demands.

Many of its teachers are among the most outstanding educators in the city. Numerous students have demonstrated exceptional academic performance, strong moral character, and ideological commitment, with some joining the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Over the past 40 years, the school has trained thousands of outstanding citizens, many of whom hold key positions in the Party, the government, and various industries, contributing to the development of Hanoi and Vietnam.

Since the 2014-2015 academic year, the school has maintained a 100% graduation and university admission rate. It has produced over 4,000 city-level academic competition winners, nearly 1,000 national winners, and nearly 200 international winners.

He expressed confidence in the school's continued growth, playing a vital role in the capital's education system.

To sustain its position as a leading educational institution, Cuong urged teachers and students to follow General Secretary To Lam's guidance and strive for self-reliance, confidence, resilience, and national pride in education.

The director emphasized the need to build a team of dedicated and highly skilled educators who embrace innovation in teaching and learning.

He also encouraged the school to implement and promote Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son's message on the three pillars of a safe learning environment: ensuring student safety, teacher well-being, and parental peace of mind.

Furthermore, Cuong stressed the importance of "real learning, real exams, and real talent" and urged the school to maintain its status as a top institution not only in academics but also in moral and life skills education, shaping well-rounded global citizens.

The school was also encouraged to strengthen Communist Party development within its institution and actively participate in the "Schools and Teachers Sharing Responsibilities" movement for 2022-2025.
