1 INTRODUCTION Rationale for the thesis It is an indispensable requirement to develop high-quality schools within the national education system In recent years, both the development of the economy and the trend of international integration have changed the social life of Vietnam The renovation of the country together with the socio-economic development at the same time facilitates and poses challenges to the development of the education sector In the course of reforming the education system, there have been several new educational models to emerge such as schools and classes for the gifted, national standard schools, international schools, high-quality schools, etc The new school models are launched to meet the increasing learning needs of students However, the theory of high-quality schools has not been properly studied Building high-quality high schools in Hanoi is not only a legal requirement but also a critical task of the Capital’s education sector The law on building high-quality schools needs to be organized and implemented Clause 3, Article 12 of the Capital Law determined that: “The establishment of some of the high-quality preschools and general education institutions in the Capital shall be in accordance with the criteria regarding facilities, teaching staff, curriculum, teaching methods, and educational services.” The practice of building high-quality high schools in recent years has posed a number of shortcomings that inquire being studied and solved Therefore, studying the issue of high-quality high schools' establishment in Hanoi is a practical need In order to implement the instructions of the People’s Committee of the City, in the last few years, Hanoi Department of Education and Training has been implementing the establishment of high-quality schools at all levels, from pre-schools to primary schools, secondary schools, and high schools, many of which have been put into operation Up to now, there has been no project or author to conduct basic and systematic research on building high-quality schools yet From the above reasons, the group of researchers decided to select "Building high-quality high schools in Hanoi in the current context" as our research topic 2 Purposes and Objectives of the Research Purposes of the Research Explaining to clarify both theoretical and practical basis for building high-quality high schools, proposing measures to build highquality high schools in Hanoi to create a scientific basis for the establishment activities, contributing to the improvement of high school education quality

Research projects have approached this issue from different perspectives There have been studies presenting the arguments on building high-quality schools in general and highquality high schools in particular However, when put into the context of the society of Vietnam, these studies remain various shortcomings and need to be adaptive as well as flexible in application In Vietnam, studies of domestic authors mainly concentrate on the problems of education innovation such as solutions or the urgency of educational innovation in different aspects These studies also point out that the programs together with education models belonging to the old education system are backward and no longer suitable for modern society, urging new and more appropriate organizations, educational institutions to be introduced The works of domestic and foreign authors have addressed many issues related to the thesis topic Nevertheless, there has been no research on the establishment of high-quality high schools in the present context in Hanoi so far Chapter THEORETICAL BASIS OF BUILDING HIGH-QUALITY HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT 2.1 Theoretical issues of high-quality high

5.3 as follows: Coefficient of difference (d1- d2)2 1 1 1 20 Figure 5.3: Comparison of correlation between urgency and feasibility of measures To compare the hierarchical difference of measures, it is necessary to use the Spearman function which compares the hierarchical correlation of measures In this formula: R is the correlation coefficient D n is the number of proposed R = 1− n(n − 1) measures D is the difference coefficient between the hierarchy of necessity and the feasibility From the data in Table 5.3, replace the number with the above formula, we have: R = 0.89 Based on the above results, it is possible to conclude that the necessity and feasibility of the measures are positively correlated and closely linked, meaning that the measures are both urgent and highly feasible If applied in practice, the proposed measures will contribute practically to the process of building high-quality high schools in Hanoi in the present situation 5.2 Testing of measures ∑ 21 5.2.1 General issues about testing * Testing purpose: The test is carried out to assess the effectiveness of measures to build high-quality high schools in the current context It also proves the suitability of the
