In a remarkable debut at the first International Nuclear Science Olympiad (INSO-2024) held in the Philippines, the Pakistani team achieved outstanding success by winning two silver and two bronze medals.
Suleman Nouman from Siddeeq Public School, Islamabad, and Subhan Kashif from Lahore Grammar School won silver medals, while Ehban Awan from Karachi Grammar School and Qasim Salam from Siddeeq Public School, Rawalpindi, won bronze medals.
The Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS), the top-ranked engineering university of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), selected students from all over the country through rigorous tests and scrutiny. These students were then trained at PIEAS under the guidance of their mentors, Dr. Sajjad Tahir from PIEAS and Dr. Muhammad Maqsood from the Education Directorate of PAEC, preparing them to participate in the Olympiad.
INSO-2024, held in Clark, Philippines, from August 1-6, 2024, was sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and other international institutions.
The winning students, along with their parents, teachers from their respective schools, and mentors from PIEAS and PAEC, deserve commendation for representing Pakistan with such distinction on the global stage.
It’s noteworthy that besides winning these medals, Pakistani students have recently won medals in International Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics Olympiads, bringing more laurels to the country. This latest success in the field of Nuclear Science is another feather in the nation’s cap.
