The Ministry of Education (MOE) congratulates all students for their outstanding performance in the International Olympiads for Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Mathematics, Nuclear Science, Physics, Artificial Intelligence, Informatics, and the International Young Physicists' Tournament¹ , which were held overseas from June to August 2025. Outside of the competitions, our students gained valuable experience through interactions with like-minded peers from all around the world.

36th International Biology Olympiad (IBO)²

2. The Singapore team won four Gold medals at the 36th IBO held in Quezon City, Philippines, from 20 to 27 July 2025, where they emerged joint 1st out of a total of 78 countries/territories and 298 participants. The IBO tests students' Biology skills and knowledge by pitting them against their peers in both practical and theory components. In the practical component, students had to complete four tasks on the topics of biomedical sciences, cell and molecular biology, ecology and systematics, and microbiology. In the theory component, students were challenged with questions across a myriad of topics, including biosystematics, cell and molecular biology, ecology, ethology, genetics and evolution, plant anatomy and physiology, and animal anatomy and physiology.

57th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO)³

3. The Singapore team won one Gold medal and three Silver medals at the 57th IChO held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from 5 to 14 July 2025. The team emerged joint 11th out of a total of 92 countries/territories and 354 participants. Students underwent a diverse range of Chemistry tasks comprising experimental and theoretical components. In the experimental component, students had to synthesise compounds, perform quantitative analysis, and determine the identity of unknown species. In the theoretical component, students were required to solve problems related to biochemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and organic chemistry.

21st International Geography Olympiad (iGeo) 2025 ⁴

4. The Singapore team won one Gold medal, one Silver medal and two Bronze medals at the 21st iGeo held in Bangkok, Thailand from 26 July to 1 August 2025. The team emerged 5th out of 47 teams and 187 participants. The competition covered a wide range of geographical knowledge and skills comprising a written response test, a fieldwork test and a multi-media test. In the written response test, students were assessed on their knowledge about geographically and socially relevant issues. The fieldwork test required students to keenly observe their surroundings, apply geographical skills like mapping, and think inventively to complete assigned tasks. The multi-media test challenged students to think critically and apply their geographical thinking skills in their analysis.

66th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2025 ⁵

5. The Singapore team won three Gold medals, two Silver medals and one Bronze medal at the 66th IMO held in Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, from 10 to 20 July 2025, emerging 8th out of a total of 110 countries/territories. A total of 630 participants took part in the IMO, tackling six challenging problems that required a high level of creativity in areas such as number theory and geometry.

2nd International Nuclear Science Olympiad (INSO) 2025 ⁶

6. The Singapore team won four Gold medals, received a special award for achieving the Highest Score in the Theoretical Examination, and a team member received the title of Nuclear Ambassador (highest score in the competition) at the 2nd INSO in Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia from 30 July to 6 August 2025. The event saw participation from 55 students representing 14 countries, who tackled two problems in an experimental exam and five problems in a theoretical examination. The competition focused on the peaceful applications of nuclear science and technology, including topics such as in medical detection and treatment of cancer, generating power for instrument in space, nuclear fission discovery and control, radioactivity in the environment, and nuclear reactor science and technology.

2nd International Olympiad Artificial Intelligence (IOAI) ⁷

7. The Singapore team won two Gold medals and five Silver medals out of 284 participants in the Individual Contest at the 2nd IOAI held in Beijing, China from 2 to 9 August 2025. The IOAI's Individual Contest required participants to understand core concepts and theoretical underpinnings behind AI as well as to demonstrate practical skills necessary to implement AI methods in code. Singapore was also announced to be the host of the 4th IOAI in 2027.

37th International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) 2025 ⁸

8. The Singapore team won two Gold medals and two Silver medals at the 37th IOI held in Sucre, Bolivia from 27 July to 3 August 2025. The team emerged 5th out of a total of 84 countries/territories and 330 participants. Students were challenged to design and implement efficient algorithms and data structures to overcome complex computational problems.

55th International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) 2025 ⁹

9. The Singapore team won one Gold medal and four Silver medals at the 55th IPhO held in Paris, France from 18 to 24 July 2025. The team emerged joint 10th out of a total of more than 90 countries/territories and 440 candidates. The students participated in a 5-hour experimental test which required them to carry out measurements on concrete physical phenomena, and a 5-hour theoretical test which required students to model and solve complex problems.

38th International Young Physicists' Tournament (IYPT) 2025 ¹⁰

10. The Singapore team clinched the overall Champion out of 35 countries at the International Young Physicists' Tournament hosted at Lund, Sweden, from 29 June to 6 July 2025. The team also came in 1st in the preliminary fights. During the competition, participants solved complicated real-world Physics problems and shared their ideas through rigorous scientific research and discussions.
