We are delighted to announce today the Short List – TOP 22 of the Vietnam Public Forum’s National Talented Youth Team in 2024-2025.
This year, the Selection Committee includes Coaches from different countries with awards at Harvard international debate tournaments and other prestigious NSDA debate competitions. In addition, we are also honored to have invited a number of Interviewers with excellent academic English skills.
Over the past 2 weeks, we have been through a careful selection process for Round 1 with the required qualification for English proficiency being 8.0 IELTS for speaking or above (or equivalent) along with the evaluation of the candidates’ debate achievements.
There were many highly qualified candidates not only from Vietnam but also from other countries such as the United States, Canada and China. Among them, there were even those who have won the championship, runner-up prizes, and have placed high at various national and international tournaments. However, due to the limitation of the Short List, only “the Best of the Best” will be selected. We would like to congratulate the excellent candidates who have been selected into the Top 22 (please see the list below, and we will also send official emails to all candidates today).
Your success is an important milestone as it proves that your tireless efforts have been rewarded. Please continue to maintain your enthusiasm, competitive spirit and be ready to show your bravery and knowledge in the next journey in Round 2 to become the best candidate selected for the Vietnam Public Forum’s National Talented Youth Team (we will send an email to those in the Top 22 announcing the resolution and instructions to prepare for Round 2).
Once again, let us warmly congratulate you on a worthy achievement.
We would also like to thank all candidates who applied as they were all excellent with achievements beyond their age despite not being selected.
In addition, we would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the Selection Committee for their hard work.
