Three Vietnamese students have been recognized for their outstanding performance in the Microsoft Office Specialist World Championship (MOSWC 2023) and the Adobe Certified Professional World Championship 2023 (ACPWC 2023) held in Florida, USA. Nguyen Thi Thanh Truc won a silver medal while Dang Thi Minh Anh and Hoang Thuy Linh received bronze medals. The competition, in its 21st year, drew over 1.3 million entries from around the world.
Students qualifying for the competition had to pass a Microsoft Office Specialist certification exam. Regional competitions were also held, with 133 finalists making it to the final round in Orlando, Florida.
The silver medalist, Nguyen Thi Thanh Truc, is from Vietnam Maritime University. Dang Thi Minh Anh represents Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted in Nam Dinh province, and Hoang Thuy Linh is from the Foreign Trade University.
