National Literacy Department’s Teachers’ Jeopardy competition sees Region Ten emerging as winners

A Primary School Teachers’ Jeopardy competition was hosted at the Princess Hotel on Friday by the Education Ministry’s National Literacy Department on Friday.

It was noted that the event was the third of its kind since being introduced in 2016. It was pointed out that teams of teachers from eight education districts participated in this year’s competitions.

The final round of Jeopardy

As such, the contestants competed in the quiz game with questions covering a variety of topics mainly from six broad categories: Science, Social Studies, English Language, Mathematics, Literature, and School Administration. The first round of the competition consisted of five categories with clues that were valued from 100 to 500 points, which were doubled in the second round.

Further, after several intense rounds, the team of teachers from Region Ten emerged victorious with Region Four in second place and Region Seven taking home the third-place prize.
