Toqaev celebrates victories of students in the international Olympiad
In the past year, Kazakh students have made a significant mark on the global stage, participating in over 30 international olympiads and scientific competitions and bringing home nearly 200 gold, over 300 silver, and around 500 bronze medals. The schoolchildren excelled in a variety of subjects, including chemistry, mathematics, physics, geography, informatics, and biology.
One of the most notable achievements was by Akezhan Askar from the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Semey, who won a silver medal at the 36th International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) held in Sucre, Bolivia in 2025. Kazakhstan has been a consistent contender in the IOI since its debut in 1999.
Another impressive feat was the six medals won by Kazakh students at the prestigious math olympiad in Australia. The winners were awarded 4 gold, 11 silver, and 9 bronze medals, with monetary prizes worth approximately $3,500 USD for gold medal winners, $2,300 USD for silver, and $1,150 USD for bronze.
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who presented certificates for these monetary prizes, expressed his confidence that the winners will make a significant contribution to Kazakhstan's development in the future. He also highlighted the immense contribution of respected teachers who have helped develop the students' abilities.
In a meeting at the Akorda residence, President Tokayev congratulated 24 schoolchildren who are winners and medalists of international subject olympiads. He stated that Kazakhstan's future lies in the hands of its creative youth and expressed his gratitude to all educators and parents who have raised a generation with high intellectual potential.
On July 16, President Tokayev also sent a congratulatory telegram to Kazakh students who demonstrated outstanding results at the International STEM Olympiad 2025 in Barcelona and the International Chemistry Olympiad in the UAE.
The impressive results reflect the high level of education in Kazakhstan and serve as a testament to the hard work and talent of its students. President Tokayev emphasized the importance of hard work in achieving success, even with talent, and reiterated that Kazakhstan's future lies in the hands of its creative youth. He is proud of each winner who has defended Kazakhstan's honor abroad.
