Registration for QuickLearning Mathematics
Contest (QLMC) Nigeria, a competition for critical thinking math geniuses in
secondary schools in Nigeria, has begun and will run till Sunday, July 4, 2021.
According to the organizers – JustMedia -
Africa’s foremost developer of Educational quizzes, the Quicklearning
Mathematics Contest is very strategic, as it accentuates the correlation
between students' critical thinking ability and their academic achievements.
There is a need to close the gap between the
critical thinking ability of average African students and their peers across
the globe. In response to this and other reasons as highlighted by many discerning
parents, Quicklearning Mathematics Contest is being introduced into Nigeria’s
edutainment space as a holistic initiative designed to drive up the critical
thinking ability of this impressionable target audience who can, and would, solve
their needs and eventually Africa’s many problems through the application of Mathematics.
QLMC Nigeria is a school-based mathematics competition for
secondary school students across Nigeria specifically designed to identify,
reward outstanding students and help highlight the benefits of critical
thinking to solve everyday challenges.
QLMC Nigeria is open to JSS3 students
attending full-time secondary education in both Public and Private schools in
Nigeria and registration for the competition,
which are in two stages: Stage One
is the Qualifying Online Examination and Stage Two the TV Quiz Show, is going online
at www.mathematics.quicklearning.africa
According to JustMedia, entry into the
competition is absolutely FREE and over N3M cash prizes will be won.
For the 2020/21 maiden season of QLMC Nigeria,
each School is allowed to register a minimum of five (5) or a maximum of twenty
(20) of their best JSS3 math students, irrespective of their gender, religion,
or state of origin, to write the online qualifying examination. This is to
expose as many students as possible to computer-based testing methods at an
early stage in life.
The qualifying examination will be on the
QuickCBT platform which the students can write from anywhere, such as their
schools, homes, or café using their laptops or smartphones thereby providing
flexibility. The idea is to encourage good participation without exposing the
students to various hazards such as travel, logistics and health risks.
From the large number of students that are
expected to write the qualifying examination,
only the best 54 based on scores earned will be selected for the next stage -
TV Quiz show for the ultimate prize (students and teachers) and bragging rights
of ‘The Quicklearning Mathematics Champion, Nigeria’.
According to the organizers, all JSS3 students,
including the duly registered students for the exam, will be offered free Prep classes
(weekend online classes manned by reputable math tutors) to help them prepare
for the highly competitive qualifying exams with the support of the National
Examination Council (NECO).
The free prep classes will be
delivered on the Quicklearning platform, a secure e-learning platform for
curriculum-based after-school studies, exam coaching and vocational studies.
The Quicklearning App is designed to deliver safe, high quality, online real-time,
user-friendly, affordable and accessible interfaces between students and
tutors.
Quicklearning offers unique features
such as a secure teaching platform for students, a pool of verified competent
tutors, a wide range of school subjects/curriculum, hobbies, periodic
evaluation/aptitude tests with over 350,000 past questions - objective, theory
and answers of major examinations, homework assistance and scholarships for
outstanding students.
