Global Mathematics Elite Competition
Global Mathematics Elite Competition (GMEC) organized by First Education Group and the Members of the Organizing Committee from USA’s largest Mathematics institutions: Art of Problem Solving, Chinese Mathematics Association of Taiwan, International Mathematical Association in UK and TechOlympia Global Services in India/UAE. The competition questions are designed by the Mathematics competition organizations in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia. Contestants get to experience the international Mathematical global culture and standard. The competition is a unique whereby students may participate in one or two Competition at a time – for the Mathematics category and the Math Olympiad category. Contestants can showcase their talents in Mathematics.
GMEC Preliminary Round & Final is open to students of Kindergarten to grade 11&12. All Indian/UAE students who have won Gold/Silver/Bronze in preliminary round will be invited to compete in GMEC Final in Hong Kong or Macau. In finals , they compete with Math elites from a wide range of regions, including Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, North Africa, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom.
