Pakistani students clinch medal haul at International Nuclear Science Olympiad in Malaysia
ISLAMABAD: A team of Pakistani students has secured four medals at the 2nd International Nuclear Science Olympiad (INSO-2025), marking a significant achievement for the country in global science education, the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported on Wednesday. Held in Malaysia from July 30 to August 5 under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the competition brought together young science talents from 19 countries, including China, Japan, Singapore, Turkiye, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia. The Pakistani team was trained by top faculty from the Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS), one of the country's premier institutions for nuclear and engineering education. 'Pakistani students secured one Gold, one Silver, and two Bronze medals at the 2nd International Nuclear Science Olympiad (INSO-2025), held in Malaysia from July 30 to August 5,' APP reported. The team's standout performers included Muhammad Tayyab Bukhari from Beaconhouse School Abbottabad, who won the gold medal, and Ammar Asad Warraich from Siddique Public School Islamabad, who claimed silver. Two other members, Rawah Javed and Tatheer Aima Naqvi, students of Siddique Public School Islamabad and Chenab College Jhang, respectively, earned bronze medals. The team was led by Dr. Sajjad Tahir of PIEAS and Dr. Muhammad Maqsood from the Directorate of Education at the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), who 'played an instrumental role in preparing the students for the competition,' APP reported. Organizers described the Olympiad as a platform to promote excellence in nuclear science and foster international collaboration among future scientists. 'This achievement underscores Pakistan's growing prominence in the field of nuclear science and technology education,' the APP report said. The Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, which operates under the umbrella of Pakistan's strategic nuclear and civil energy programs, has invested heavily in science outreach programs. It continues 'to provide young students with the platforms and mentorship needed to excel internationally, not just in nuclear research, but also in its applications across agriculture, medicine, industry, and education,' APP said.
