Three Vietnamese students won 2017 British Council IELTS prize

This year, 36 prize winners would be added to the list. Each of the local prize winners received a prize valued at VND62.2 million. In addition to the local awards, the British Council also awarded three regional prizes to top students in the East Asia region, who will be entering their dream universities overseas to pursue further education.

Three students from Vietnam won the local IELTS Prize. The prize’s value is neither limited to the funding it provides nor limited to the year the award is granted. It is a confirmation for international education readiness, a spiritual as well as physical company throughout academic and professional career and, most importantly, a key to other international opportunities.

As an international English proficiency test, IELTS has grown in its popularity with over 2.9 million of tests taken in 2016, and is now recognized by over 10,000 organizations, including universities, employers and immigration authorities worldwide. We are pleased that our wide international acceptance and the IELTS Prize are helping more students in East Asia to pursue further study overseas”, said Greg Selby, Director Examinations, Examinations Services, East Asia.

As an official IELTS test center, the British Council provides full support in preparing students to take the IELTS test, including Road to IELTS, specially designed online practice materials for registered students, and access to different preparation materials. Furthermore, test sessions are organised at least three times a month, which give students flexibility in choosing the most suitable sessions./.
