In July 2025, eight cities across the Republic of the Congo competed in a national contest that once again crowned Brazzaville as the winner, thanks to the outstanding performance of Francilia Marie MONIANGA. Her victory further confirmed the high academic standards demonstrated by the young girls participating in this competition.
Building on this success, the 3rd edition of Miss Excellence Maths Congo welcomes two new cities to the competition—Madingou and Gamboma. This new edition promises another opportunity to celebrate intelligence, hard work, and perseverance among female students, while further promoting mathematics as a pathway to success and future opportunities.
Dates: July 13–18, 2026
Participating Cities:
Brazzaville, Pointe-Noire, Dolisie, Ouesso, Kinkala, Madingou, Ewo, Nkayi, Gamboma, and Oyo.
The competition is open to female students in the 9th grade (3ème) who have achieved an overall mathematics average of at least 15/20 during the first two terms and are ready to take on the challenge of academic excellence.

Exaucée Georgia KULE YATIBAMBU
“I am very happy to have won this award because it means so much to me. I worked extremely hard to achieve this. Having it in my hands today means my efforts, and those of my math teacher who supported me up to the final, were not in vain. I thank the association LE YAYA for thinking of Congolese young women, and I encourage all girls to pursue science because often, girls and boys tend to think that sciences are only for boys, when in reality, we girls are just as capable.”

“As parents, we can only thank the association LE YAYA for its commitment to developing the potential of our youth. To other parents: encourage your children to participate in this competition, which can be a springboard for developing their skills and for building a network of future women leaders.”
