Over 17,000 students from grades 4 to 8 participated in Maarif Inter-School Maths Olympiad (MISMO), Pakistan’s biggest and most comprehensive mathematical competition, which was organised in 65 Olympiad centres in 35 different cities, a press statement said Sunday.
The MISMO is an initiative of Pak-Turk Maarif International Schools and Colleges which is aimed to bring out mathematical intelligence and skillfulness among young Pakistani mathematicians.
The MISMO’s prime focus is to assess such a high number of the cohort on both qualitative and quantitative scales and bring together students from diverse academic cultures and different regions.
An amazing and exciting feature of MISMO-2022 is the availability of proficiency mapping of participants at the individual level, as well as school-wise, city-wise, region-wise, and nation-wide proficiency reports.
The MISMO applications regularly open in September every year and the competition is held on the last Sunday of November.
Pak-Turk Maarif believes in providing equal opportunity, therefore, MISMO applications are accepted from the students of Public and Private schools across Pakistan.
Through MISMO, the Pak-Turk Maarif provides a neutral platform for the students to think and resolve logical and analytical problems and showcase their mathematical skills.
Country Director of Pak-Turk Maarif International Schools & Colleges, Harun Küçükaladaglı, stated that the motto of the 2022 MISMO Olympiad is “who will be the next Al-Khwarizmi of Pakistan?"
“We want to motivate the students to discover their potential rather than implying this event as merely a contest,” he said. “We aim to spread awareness among people about our historical personalities, and scholars who have contributed to the world's history with their discoveries,” he added.
