The award was presented at the contest’s closing and award ceremony held in Hanoi on Wednesday. The nationwide competition drew nearly 1.2 million participants from schools and educational institutions across Vietnam, aiming to promote a culture of reading among students.

This recognition carries special meaning for Pleiku High School as it prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary (1975–2025). It was also the only school from Gia Lai province, following recent administrative mergers, to receive an award in this year’s competition.

With consistent efforts to nurture a reading culture, Pleiku High School has reinforced its reputation as a leading institution in Gia Lai’s education sector, inspiring students across the country to develop a lifelong love of books.
