Mobile Classroom, an audiovisual mobile classroom application, has announced a monthly scholarship quiz competition.
The competition tagged “Mobile Classroom Digital Quiz” was disclosed by the initiator of the Mobile Classroom educational App, Mr. Akeem Salami.
According to Mr Salami, the scholarship quiz is aimed at motivating learning and inspiring students towards improving the quality of the education system in Nigeria.
The competition is designed to foster quality performance in the examinations organized by West African Examination Council, National Examination Council and Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
“It is time for a paradigm shift in the way we handle Nigerian education system.
“This is why Mobile Classroom App has decided to embark on a monthly reward system in the form of a scholarship scheme among Nigerian students,” Mr Salami said.
“This is to motivate them towards engagement in more productive learning and to inspire students towards education”.
“This move is strategically a sharp departure from the culture of investing heavily in social and entertainment projects. Little has been done to motivate students’ academic efforts,” he added.
Salami stated that beyond the monetary motivation, students needed a competition like this to evaluate the level of their knowledge on different topics learnt. Also, to identify their weaknesses for possible correction before going for public examinations.
The monthly quiz competition would be based on specific topics and subjects, under their syllabus and curriculum.
They would also be notified of the topics for a particular month at the beginning of each month through their registration details on the app.
He, therefore, urged the students to download the App from Playstore, register and subscribe to take lectures on the mobile classroom.
Salami noted that will automatically qualify them to participate in the monthly quiz for cash scholarship quiz competition.
He noted that between fifty to two hundred (50-200) Mobile Classroom Quiz contestants are expected to win 20,000 Naira monthly; the top best three students in a month would be EduHeroes for the month. They would be celebrated in their respective schools alongside the school management and their subject teachers.
“Quiz contest will be taking place between 7:30 pm – 8pm every last Saturday of the month simultaneously for a period of 30 minutes.
“After successful submission of answered quizzes, contestants will confirm their performances through a digital auto score sheets.
This will enable them to know where they need to improve on”, Akeem Salami explained.
