Scientific research activities (SRAs) of secondary school students of developing countries in Southeast Asia such as Vietnam are facing certain obstacles. The proposed research aims to explore the managing the SRAs of students in secondary schools as a basis for managers to propose effective measures. The oriented survey was performed on 180 teachers and managers and 201 students from 13/13 secondary schools. The data were processed by using the SPPS program and proposed solutions were introduced. Overall, the management of student's SRAs in secondary schools has achieved certain results but there are still limitations in planning, organizing, and evaluating process.
