Global Math Debate to be held in January 2026

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.
