The Mathematics Trainers' Guild (MTG), Philippines has finally selected a group of strong math wizards to represent the country in the 2017 India International Mathematicians Competition (InIMC) to be held at City Montessori School, Lucknow, India on July25-31, 2017.

The MTG Philippines has identified participants who are geared up for the final encounter with the world’s best mathematicians from more than 30 countries. The Philippines will be fielding four teams of 4 members each for Key Stage II (Elementary Division) and another four teams of 4 members each for Key Stage III (High School Division). 

The prospective participants must send their confirmation of participation (indicating among others the name and passport details) not later than Tuesday, May 16, 2017 with the subject header, ‘2017 InIMC’ at this email address, jsw_66@yahoo.com. 

Furthermore, all MOSTP trainees who are set to represent the Philippines in different math contests abroad are given important notice and constant reminder to join ONLY MTG-sponsored/supported/sanctioned math competitions. MTG math wizards have been trained to participate in highly regarded competitions and NOT in commercialized math contests. Thus, trainees are advised to verify from MTG if the contest they are invited to join is in the list of MTG program of activities.

It should be noted that MTG guides students to join reputable math contests to provide them the essential tools they need to succeed in their future career or chosen field of endeavor, empower and encourage them to take control of their own learning, and endow them with a deep understanding of the challenges that lie ahead. Trainees should know that joining contest is not about winning medals or gaining recognition, it is about personal development, career pathing, enhancing skills and confidence to make meaningful contributions, all these are reasons why MTG selects appropriate contests for trainees.

Therefore, MOSTP trainees joining any math contest other than those competitions specified by MTG Philippines will miss the opportunity to be in future trainings.

Finally, as soon as the person-in-charge receives the confirmation, a registration form and other initial requirements will be sent for compliance.

The following trainees are invited to participate in the 2017 InIMC:
