The final stage of the "Golden Talents of the Golden Age" national academic competition for schoolchildren has successfully concluded in Turkmenistan. Held from March 11 to March 14, the Olympiad brought together nearly 1,400 students from grades 11 and 12 across the country. The event served as a prestigious platform for talented youth to showcase their academic prowess in various scientific and humanities disciplines.

The competition took place at leading higher education institutions in Ashgabat and various regional centers. This approach provided participants with the opportunity to experience the academic environment of the nation's top universities. Competitions in chemistry and biology were hosted at the Oguz Han Engineering and Technology University, while students testing their skills in informatics, Russian, and English competed at the International University for the Humanities and Development. Astronomy participants gathered at the Magtymguly Turkmen State University.

Regional universities played a vital role in hosting the event: the Turkmen Agricultural Institute in Dashoguz hosted the Turkmen language and literature category; the Seyitnazar Seydi Turkmen State Pedagogical Institute in Turkmenabat welcomed geography contestants; and the State Energy Institute of Turkmenistan in Mary successfully organized the mathematics and physics segments of the competition.

Winners were honored in a formal ceremony, receiving diplomas and commemorative gifts. Beyond the academic challenges, the organizers provided an enriching experience for the students, including tours of university campuses, visits to modern scientific laboratories, and excursions to cultural sites in the host cities. The competition continues to be a cornerstone in promoting academic excellence and scientific inquiry among the country’s youth.
