Visa delays deny six Moroccan students’ chance to compete at international mathematical Olympiad

After three years of preparation, six Moroccan students were unable to represent their country at the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in England due to administrative delays in processing their travel visas. 

On July 19, the Moroccan Mathematical Community (MMC) expressed deep concern over the absence, marking Morocco's first missed IMO since 1983. 

The MMC emphasized that this incident undermines national efforts to enhance Morocco's performance in the prestigious International Mathematical Olympiad.
