Le Xuan Manh caused controversy because he received a huge reward, Dr. Doan Huong did not recognize "Olympia is talent"

Recently, the keyword " Olympia" competition has suddenly become a topic of interest to everyone. The online community is currently debating that the contest is ironically used to find talent for Australia.

Accordingly, at the end of the 23rd year Olympia final competition, 12th grade male student of Ham Rong High School, Thanh Hoa, Le Xuan Manh, excellently won a breathtaking victory until the last minute. Manh's worthy reward was a glorious 24k laurel wreath and 50,000 USD (equivalent to 1.2 billion VND) - the largest amount of money ever in the program.

Not stopping there, immediately after returning to his hometown, Le Xuan Manh continued to receive a commendation ceremony from the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, and People's Committee of Thanh Hoa province to receive a certificate of merit from the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee along with a bonus of 200 VND. million dong. Thanh Hoa Provincial Study Promotion Association also awarded 60 million VND to Manh.

The story of Thanh Hoa province rewarding Olympia Champion with 200 million VND caused controversy. There is an opinion that Olympia is just a television game show, which is unfair to students who win the International Olympic Gold Medal and only receive half the reward of 100 million VND.

Evaluating the Olympia competition, Master Nguyen said: "This is a healthy academic playground, good for students, but it is not really a competition to find talent for the country. The champions of the competition are all good students." But only within the scope of the general education program. We should not promote these as the country's talents because they are just at the potential stage, coming out of a competition and will have a long way to go." . We need to have more and better quality competitions so that students can show off many different talents such as sports, art, business, entrepreneurship, leadership... We should not think that there are only competitions. "Academia is important".

In addition to the controversy over hot bonuses, a video has spread on social networks recording Dr. Doan Huong's statement on the issue of Olympia champions choosing to live and work abroad, the competition being compared like finding talent for Australia.

Specifically, in the video, she shared: "The Olympia program is honestly very smart. For a while, people thought that Vietnam was training talent for Australia, then they received scholarships from other countries." private university with an amount of about 30,000 to 50,000 USD (equivalent to 682 million VND to 1.1 billion VND), and then they go to Australia to study and live. However, this cannot be considered talent. Actually, because the questions in the Olympia program often have ready answers. Talent appears when you have the ability to ask and answer questions for which there are no ready answers."

In a speech to hundreds of students, Dr. Doan Huong said that candidates who leave the Olympia program and study abroad in Australia are usually just ordinary people. They attend mid-range universities and have not yet demonstrated outstanding excellence to be honored in this new country. They are also not excellent enough to make us feel sorry if they decide to stay abroad. Therefore, calling them "outstanding talents" in this context seems unreasonable.

According to information from VTC News, Dr. Doan Huong has spent many years of her career working on famous programs on VTV such as "Olympia" and "Morning Coffee". She used to teach at the Faculty of Literature and the Faculty of Journalism and Communications (now the Institute of Journalism and Communication Training) of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. Dr. Doan Huong is famous for expressing controversial views on social networks, changing the Vietnamese language, or movies that are attracting the attention of young people. Although there are many mixed opinions, she is still admired by many people for her broad knowledge and multi-dimensional perspective.

In the debate on this issue, from Dr. Doan Huong's perspective, many young people continue to participate in the fierce debate. There are people who agree, and there are people who oppose, all to protect their own views. However, it is possible that those on the sidelines of the debate are trying to impose their personal views on the title of "outstanding talent."

In fact, the contestants in the Olympia program are all good students, with the potential to become talented people. They take advantage of scholarship opportunities to develop their potential and seek opportunities to become better people.

However, when they graduate and decide to stay in Australia, they are just ordinary citizens, many of them working in their original chosen fields. In some cases, domestic graduates have achieved more impressive and international achievements. Therefore, the title "Olympia champion" cannot be used to evaluate talent.
