The participation of Romanian pupils in the International Geography Olympiad, held in Japan between July the 30th and August the 5th, has brought Romania three gold medals and a silver one. Thanks to this achievement, the Romanian pupils have outranked their colleagues from 31 countries, ranking on the first position of the classification on nations, after they held the second position last year. Such good news came also from the Romanian Education Ministry, which announced that the Romanian pupils who participated in the International Astronomy and Astrophysics in Greece brought Romania the best result ever: 5 medals (2 golden medals, two silvers and one bronze).



The high performance and success scored by the Romanian pupils is a constant of their participation in international Olympiads, as every time their return home with medals. Recently, at the International Linguistics Olympiad held in Manchester, a competition in which Romania participated officially for the first time, Romanian pupils ranked third, with two individual mentions. The International Linguistics Olympiad is one of the twelve international science competitions and this year it enjoyed the participation of 138 competitors, from 26 countries, among which Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Israel, Japan, Singapore, the US and the United Arab Emirates.



In order to approach the problems, subjects or topics at the Olympiads, pupils should make analogies, apply elements of grammar logics and mathematical logics in the process of understanding texts written in unknown languages, starting from the idea that linguistics puts order into thinking and regulates the process of communication by constructing structures which favour the easy learning of any language.



If the Linguistics Olympiad was a first for the Romanians, things are different in the case of Mathematics, for instance, a domain where Romanian pupils boast a long and fruitful participation. This year, they won three silver medals and three bronzes in late June, in the Columbian town of Santa Monica. From Tashkent, Uzbekistan, which hosted the International Chemistry Olympiad in April, Romanian pupils came home with a golden medal, two silvers and three bronzes. The pupils who participated in the Physics Olympiad are just as good, their value being confirmed by the five medals they got: two golden medals and three silvers.



In the same line, the young Romanians who participated in the IT Olympiad returned home from Australia with four medals, of which two golden medals. 2013 is undoubtedly a very good year for the Romanian pupils and proof of this is also their recent success in Russia. At the Tuymaada Pluridisciplinary Olympiad, they got 13 medals, scoring the best result in recent years:9 golden medals at IT, mathematics, physics and chemistry.
