From July 10 to 20, 2025, the city of Sunshine Coast, Queensland (Australia), will host the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO 2025) — one of the most prestigious intellectual competitions in the world, annually bringing together the brightest high school pioneers from over 100 countries.
This year, Kazakhstan will be represented by six high school students who successfully passed both national and international selection stages. The team will be led by Professor Asylbek Abdiashimovich Isakhov, Rector of the International Information Technology University (IITU).
Professor Isakhov is a recognized expert in the field of education and has led the national team of Kazakhstan at major international Olympiads for many years. Thanks to his extensive experience, dedicated mentorship, and deep belief in the potential of youth, Kazakhstan’s team has consistently demonstrated outstanding results on the global stage.
In April 2025, under his leadership, the Kazakhstani team achieved remarkable success at the Balkan Mathematical Olympiad (BMO) held in Bosnia and Herzegovina. All six team members earned medals — three silver and three bronze — affirming the high level of mathematical training among Kazakhstani school students.
Participation in the IMO is not only a personal achievement but also a national honor. It is an opportunity to showcase the strength of Kazakhstani education, the country’s scientific potential, and the intellectual future of the nation!
The International Information Technology University also plays a vital role in this mission. Under the leadership of its rector, the university actively supports the development of talented youth and promotes international STEM initiatives. IITU is a modern institution committed to innovation, academic excellence, and the preparation of future leaders in the digital era.
We sincerely take pride in our students and wish the Kazakhstani national team inspiration, confidence, and brilliant results at the International Mathematical Olympiad 2025 in Australia!
