Kathmandu, Nov. 21
Embark UnMath is introducing
the Global Math Debate League (GMDL) in Nepal for the first time, with the
event scheduled for January 2026.
The GMDL positions mathematics
as a medium for discussion and idea exchange rather than focusing solely on
calculations. The programme encourages students to apply mathematical thinking
in communication, problem-solving, and daily activities, the company said in a
statement on Friday.
According to Divesh Bathija,
co-founder of Embark UnMath, the initiative aims to broaden students’
understanding of mathematics through structured debate and inquiry.
More than 5,000 students from
schools across Nepal are expected to participate. The competition will consist
of three stages: a screening round, regional selection, and a national final.
Britannica Education will
serve as the knowledge partner. It provides curriculum-aligned digital tools
and professional development for schools, offering resources built on its
long-standing knowledge base.
According to the organisers, UnMath
School, founded in 2012, works to redefine the learning of mathematics in
schools. Embark UnMath extends this work through programmes, including the
Global Math Debate League, Math Marathon, and Space Math.
