The Republican Olympiad in general education subjects took place recently at “Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Aktobe”. 19 teams from all regions of the country and more than 800 schoolchildren participated in the competition. 11th grade students of “Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Semey” – Argyn Yergaliyev and Rustem Sherdebayev also took part in a five-day contest. During the event jointly organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republican Center “Daryn”, Argyn won a bronze medal in Physics and took the 3rd place and, Rustem won a silver medal in Chemistry and took the 2nd place. Our gifted students were awarded prizes.
– The Olympiad was held at a high level. We also prepared well. We are very lucky that we became the winners. According to the Olympiad results, the team of “Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools» was awarded the nomination of “The Best Olympic Team – 2019”. This year the winners of various international and republican competitions also participated in the Olympiad. Nevertheless, we believe that, participation itself along with our peers is already a victory for us”, said two students.
It is interesting to note that this year is the 20th anniversary of the Olympiad. In general, the given contest began to be held in Aktobe. Another feature of this year’s Olympiad is that all rounds were broadcasted online to ensure transparency. That is why everyone could virtually attend the contest and ensure the integrity of the jury members when checking the students’ answers.
Our students, Rustem and Argyn, having become winners, also contributed to the nomination of the “Intellectual Schools” team. In general, the students of Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools won 13 gold, 18 silver and 13 bronze medals.
