At the global robotics championship, «First Global Challenge», the Kazakh team outperformed participants from 190 countries, reaffirming their leadership on the world stage and becoming three-time champions.

«This is a tremendous achievement. Furthermore, Kazakhstan’s national teams participated in seven of the most prestigious international Olympiads in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, geography, and linguistics. As a result, they won 26 medals. We believe that next year, we will also achieve such results. 2025 will begin with the Zhautykov Olympiad.
