Abstract

This case study aims to understand the equality in education and performance trends in the Republican Olympiad on Mathematics (ROM), a national competition in Kyrgyzstan. Using the latest data from the ROM, the study compared participation and achievement based on gender, region, and school type. This study also opens the door for more research to explore the reasons, challenges, and social-economic factors affecting these trends in Kyrgyzstan. Through the lens of Kaiyrkul, a young woman from Naryn who secured second place in the ROM, we will explore how personal resilience, family support, and mentorship contribute to success in STEM for girls in Kyrgyzstan.
