Czech schools can continue to organize "olympiads"

School knowledge competitions in the Czech Republic can continue to use the term "olympiad" in their titles. This decision follows a meeting between Education Minister Mikuláš Bek and the Czech Olympic Committee (ČOV), which initially requested that organizers stop using the term due to legal concerns over the use of Olympic symbols, especially with commercial sponsors. A small expert group will now draft guidelines for organizers. The Education Ministry supported 30 such competitions this year, with the most popular being the math olympiad, which attracted around 22,000 participants.
