With a total of 24 contestants competing from 2020-2025, the Vietnamese delegation excellently won 24/24 medals, including 21 Gold Medals and 3 Silver Medals.

The International Chemistry Olympiad is the largest and most prestigious competition in the world, held annually for high school students in the field of Chemistry. This year, the 57th competition was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) with the participation of delegations from 90 countries and territories, with 354 contestants competing from July 5-14.

Candidates taking the ICHO Exam must take one theory test and one practical test, each lasting 5 hours.

The practical exam requires candidates to perform experimental skills from basic to advanced, requiring accuracy, logical thinking and proficient laboratory operations.

Meanwhile, the theoretical exam revolves around environmental issues, technology or applications of chemistry in life such as: seawater desalination, solar energy, tennis balls, lanterns... requiring candidates to apply general knowledge and critical thinking to solve problems.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, this year's exam structure is considered creative, close to real life but still ensures scientific depth.
