Maarif Inter-School Maths Olympiad (MISMO) is Pakistan’s biggest and most comprehensive mathematical competition that is an initiative of Pak-Turk Maarif International Schools and Colleges. MISMO is aimed to bring out Mathematical intelligence and skillfulness among Pakistani young Mathematicians.
MISMO applications regularly open in September every year and the competition are held on the last Sunday of November. This year, Pak-Turk Maarif is organizing this mega Olympiad in 65 Olympiad centers in 35 different cities of Pakistan where more than 17000 students from grades 4 to 8 are participating.
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, Pak-Turk Maarif provides a neutral platform for the students to think and resolve logical and analytical problems and showcase their mathematical skills.
“In Pursuit of Al-Khwarizmi of Pakistan?” Country Director of Pak-Turk Maarif Int’l Schools & Colleges Mr. Harun Küçükaladağlı 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. Our aim is to spread awareness among people about our historical personalities, and scholars who have contributed to the world’s history with their discoveries.
The Legacy of MISMO Country Director remarks MISMO, as Pakistan’s one of biggest academic events, giving an opportunity to students from public and private schools to present their mathematical talent.
Besides, this mega competition also invites school management, teachers, and students from different academic backgrounds to work as one team. Therefore, MISMO is considered as an important contribution from Türkiye’s experience in this field to the academic environment of Pakistan for being open to all.
