Africa's flagship math championship for secondary-school students, established in 1986 by the African Mathematical Union. National teams of up to six students compete in proof-based olympiad problems.
The Pan-African Mathematics Olympiad (PAMO) is Africa's flagship championship for secondary-school students, held annually in a rotating host country. Established in 1986 by the African Mathematical Union (AMU) through its Commission on Pan-African Mathematics Olympiads (AMUPAMOC), PAMO has run almost every year since 1987, gathering the continent's most promising young mathematicians to celebrate excellence and community. Each participating nation may enter up to six students, all under 20 years old. The competition consists of two 4½-hour papers, each containing three proof-based problems scored out of 7 points (maximum total of 42 points). Participation in PAMO is through national selection - students are chosen by the Egyptian sponsors to represent the country.
Note: Selection is through the Egyptian national sponsors. Contact them for participation details.
