From April 1 to 20, 2023, the invitation stage of the III International Financial Security Olympiad will be held on the online platform of the Sirius Educational Center. It is open to schoolers, students and anyone who wants to test their skills. Registration is already open and the tasks will be available from 00:00 on April 1, Moscow time.
The creative tasks of the invitation stage demonstrate how knowledge of school curricula (Mathematics, Physics, Social Studies, and Law) is used to solve complex problems in the field of financial monitoring. The recommended time for solving tasks is two hours, but access to the test system will be open within a day after the test itself starts. For schoolers and students the invitation stage is a kind of preparation for the Preliminary (university) stage of the International Financial Security Olympiad, which starts on April 17, 2023 for schoolers in grades 8-10 and students.
“The invitation stage is a great opportunity to test your knowledge in the field of financial security. As active users of online services, we often face various risks. Everyone needs to know how to behave in certain situations, how to secure their personal data and finances. By completing tasks, users will be able to identify their strengths and weaknesses in this difficult area of knowledge, as well as to obtain new information,” Herman Negliad, State Secretary, Deputy Director of Federal Financial Monitoring Service, noted.
The Final of the Olympiad will be held on October 2-6 at the Sirius Educational Centre in Sochi and will unite more than 500 participants. The programme will include tests, meetings with invited experts, sports events, seminars, workshops, master classes, meetings with potential employers, round tables, debates, creative meetings and panel discussions. As Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Organising Committee for the preparation and holding of the Olympiad, reported earlier this year's Olympiad includes 15 participating countries (Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, India, China, South Africa, Brazil, Iran, Namibia, Pakistan).
The main prize of the Olympiad is the benefits of enrolling to specialized programmes of higher education, Master or Postgraduate’s studies under the Level I Olympiad benefits, as well as the opportunity to find a dream job in the prestigious field of financial security.
The International Financial Security Olympiad is held with the support of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin and is aimed at popularizing financial security as a norm of life, as well as at shaping of a new mindset among young people: from the security of the individual to the security of the state. Holding the Olympiad complies with the objectives of the national project "Education", the main goal of which is to provide opportunities for self-realisation and development of children's talents, regardless of their place of residence and social status.
