Mr. Ngo Ngoc Hoang Vuong, Head of the Office of Politics & Ideology at the Danang Department of Education & Training, explained that questions in the “Quang Region Gen Z” contest were focused on the historical, economic, social and cultural aspects of Danang-Quang Nam in the past and present. In the case of a tie after the four sections, an extra question would be asked.
He said: “We encourage participating teams to prepare appropriate slides, video clips, or music to make the contest even more eloquent, lively and attractive".
The competition was jointly organized by the Tuoi Tre newspaper, the Danang Department of Education & Training and DTU, for high school Gen Z students throughout Danang.
A terrific opportunity for Gen Z students
According to DTU Vice-Provost Dr. Tran Nhat Tan, the attraction of the “Quang Region Gen Z” contest is that it requires both comprehensive knowledge together with excellent presentation skills. He said: "As the name of the competition suggests, we encourage students to be creative, come up with new ideas, and talk all about their schools in detail. They will be able to employ their knowledge and demonstrate their skills. The contest should prove to be extremely exciting and intense."
The schedule
Representatives of 25 participating schools and centers attended the draw to determine which group their team was assigned to. Group B was considered the strongest and included teams from Hoang Hoa Tham High School, Pham Phu Thu High School and the Le Quy Don High School for the Gifted.
