Registration open for the 19th Brazilian Public School Mathematics Olympiad

Obmep

Deadline is March 15th

Manaus (AM) – Registration for the 19th edition of the Brazilian Public School Mathematics Olympiad (Obmep) is open until March 15th. Schools that have not yet registered can carry out the process through the official website of the Olympics, available via the link.

To register with Obmep, schools must fill out a form available on the website, providing the MEC/Inep code and create a password. In the regulations, school representatives will find all information about conditions, deadlines, dates and rules for participation.

In this process, the State Department of Education and School Sports, through the Department of Educational Policies and Programs (Deppe), has worked to mobilize schools, aiming to increase the number of registrations.

“We are currently communicating with the district and regional coordinators about dates and any other eventualities. We also make available, for Obmep coordinators, the Amazonas Education Media Center (Cemeam), which has coverage throughout the state. The work is about dissemination and encouragement”,

declared Deppe director Wilmara Cruz.

Held by the Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (Impa), Obmep broke two records in 2023: with the number of participating schools across the country, with 55.3 thousand institutions, and municipalities, with the mark of 5,563 cities, reaching 99.87% of Brazilian municipalities. In total, more than 18.3 million students participated in the competition last year.

Application model

Obmep is divided into three levels, where “Level 1” corresponds to the 6th and 7th year of Elementary School; “Level 2” refers to the 8th and 9th years and “Level 3” refers to High School.

The tests will also be carried out in two phases, where the first is qualifying for the second. The first contest consists of 20 objective questions, held at the registered student’s own school. In the second phase, a discursive test with six questions is carried out in application centers chosen by the Obmep organization.

In 2023, the participation of schools in the state education network was above 95% in the first phase of the Olympics. At the end of the last Obmep cycle, the state network was responsible for 54 medals won at national level, with five gold medals, 12 silver and 37 bronze. In addition, 434 honorable mentions were won, which resulted in certificates sent to the students by the Obmep organizing team itself.

Medalist students at national level also have the right to participate in the Jr. Scientific Initiation Program (PIC), with a monthly scholarship of R$300, granted by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), an entity linked to the Federal Government.
