Doha, Qatar: Students from Qatar Foundation schools secured multiple medals and awards across the Advanced and Intermediate categories at the World Mathematics Team Championship (WMTC) held in Thailand, reaffirming their strong presence on the international academic stage.

This achievement marks the third consecutive participation of Qatar Foundation (QF) schools in the prestigious global competition. A total of 26 students represented QF, with six students earning medals — one Silver and five Bronze — while the remaining 20 students received Merit Awards, which recognise strong and distinguished performance in international academic competitions.

The results highlight the strong emphasis that QF’s Pre-University Education (PUE) schools place on mathematics and sciences as core pillars of academic excellence. Participation in the championship also provided students with a valuable opportunity to engage with peers from around the world, apply advanced problem-solving skills, and compete in a highly challenging learning environment.

Reflecting on his experience, Ismail Al Emadi, a grade 10 student at Qatar Academy Doha, part of QF’s PUE, and a Bronze Medal winner in the Intermediate category, said, “Participating in the championship strengthened my interest in learning mathematics and continuing to explore the subject. While it may not be my primary choice for future study, it remains an area of strong personal interest.

Speaking about winning the medal, Al Emadi added, “Earning a medal this year was a satisfying achievement and brought a sense of relief after the pressure I experienced throughout the competition.
