Azerbaijani students achieved a historic milestone at the 37th International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI 2025), held in Sucre, the capital of Bolivia. Aykhan Demirli, an 11th-grade student from the Lyceum named after Academician Zarifa Aliyeva, was awarded a silver medal. Hasan Valiyev, a 10th-grade student from School No. 157, and Elvin Imanli, an 11th-grade student from the Physics, Mathematics, and Informatics Lyceum, earned bronze medals. Ali Aliyev, an 11th-grade student from Ankara Lyceum, received an honorable mention.

More than 300 students from 98 countries competed in the Olympiad. During the two-day competition, participants solved complex algorithmic problems, demonstrating their analytical thinking, problem-solving, and programming skills. Their solutions were evaluated based on a 100-point scoring system.

From 2020 to 2025, the number of prizes raised to eleven, demonstrating significant achievement. This year’s accomplishments not only mark a record-breaking result for the country but also stand out for having two students ranked among the world’s top 100 competitors.
