KUWAIT, July 21 (KUNA) -- Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity (SACGC), a branch of the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS), is committed to supporting its students participating in the International Chemistry olympiad (IChO), hosted by Saudi Arabia from July 21-30, and the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) in Iran from July 20-30, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education (MoE).
Director General Neda Al-Daihani stated to KUNA on Sunday that the center's support for students in global scientific competitions aligns with its strategy and the directives of its board to develop students' skills and abilities, contributing to the vision of New Kuwait 2035.
Al-Daihani appreciated MoE's cooperation, which involved forming a coordination committee between both sides to arrange student participation in the 2024 Chemistry and Physics Olympiads, highlighting a short-term training plan supervised by the center to prepare students for these competitions.
He mentioned that students were well-prepared for the Olympiads with the help of Dr. Peter Bogard from University of Cambridge and University College London, and a former member of IChO's committee.
Additionally, Hussein Al-Rashid, a physics trainer from Swansea University in the UK, was brought in to provide necessary training for Kuwaiti students, he pointed out.
The center is keen on involving both international and local experts to develop long-term professional training plans to enhance Kuwait's participation in international Olympiads, beginning with the 2025 competitions.
Students participating in the IChO in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia include Mohammad Al-Najem, Ali Behbehani, Taiba Al-Damkhi, and Faisal Mohammad, while the IPhO students in Isfahan, Iran are Ahmad Hassan, Hussein Al-Awadi, Salem Al-Ajmi, Salman Hussein, and Jasem Jasem. (end)
