Putting Kyrgyzstan on the map

Who doesn’t hate it, when people in other countries are completely unaware of where Kyrgyzstan is and what students in the Kyrgyz Republic can achieve. Participation in international Mathematics competitions, like Mathematics without Border, puts our students in contact with students from all over the world.
This does not only improve their cultural awareness, but establishes global connections and makes more people around the world aware of the beauty of Kyrgyzstan and the kindness of its people.
