At the 12th World Mathematics Championship held in Doha, Qatar, six Bangladeshi teams won gold medals on their first participation. In addition to these golds, the delegation secured 11 silver medals, 7 bronze medals, and 3 merit awards, ensuring every participant out of the total 27 earned recognition. This marked a remarkable success for Bangladesh on the global stage.
Among the medalists was U Sain Wang Marma, an eighth-grade student from Quantum Cosmo School in Lama, Bandarban, who won a silver medal. U Sain Wang, who enrolled in the school in 2016 as a preschooler, comes from a remote region in Bandarban and is cared for by his mother and grandmother after losing his father. The school’s principal, Md. Nur Hossain, highlighted the significance of his achievement given his challenging background.
Similarly, Glenrich International School’s ninth-grade student, Ayaan Zaman, won a silver medal in the individual round and played a key role in earning the prestigious “Top Team” award. The school’s principal, Dr. Shibananda CS, remarked, “Ayaan’s success is a reflection of his dedication, perseverance, and talent in mathematics. His achievement not only brings honor to Glenrich International School but also represents Bangladesh’s talent on the world stage. It serves as an inspiration for young learners across the nation to pursue their dreams and excel in life.”
The World Math Team Championship is a premier global platform designed to celebrate mathematical excellence and inspire students worldwide to cultivate an interest in mathematics. This year, the Bangladeshi delegation competed in three categories—Junior, Intermediate, and Advanced—with a total of 27 participants representing the country on the international stage.
