Participants choosing STEM subjects in tertiary education
EAMO is transforming mathematical education across Eastern Africa. Ethiopia, the continent's second-largest country, had zero competition tradition before 2022. Now over 15,000 students participate in national competitions, with potential to reach 100,000.
EAMO has successfully initiated mathematical competitions in countries with no prior tradition: Ethiopia, South Sudan, Burundi, Zambia, and Djibouti, creating lasting educational frameworks for future generations.
Nearly all EAMO participants choose STEM subjects for tertiary education, with competition finalists securing positions at world-leading universities including MIT, Oxford, Caltech, and Cambridge.
As the only organization pioneering mathematical competitions across Eastern Africa, EAMO is creating a generation of mathematically literate students who will drive regional development and innovation.
Establishing sustainable competition frameworks and training local coordinators in countries new to mathematical competitions.
Training teachers and mentors to nurture mathematical talent and create lasting competition traditions in their communities.
Growing from 11 participating countries toward broader Eastern African engagement and sustainable regional collaboration.
Building on our explosive growth since 2022—from zero to 15,000+ students in Ethiopia alone—EAMO is positioned to reach 100,000+ students across Ethiopia and establish permanent mathematical competition traditions throughout Eastern Africa.
