With the holiday that is approaching and not sure when it will end, an easy way to keep learners knowledgeable is through quizzes. Students can now catch the pop quiz on RTV, starting July 17. The Shupavu 2910S Pop quiz is expected to equip learners with existing knowledge while stimulating interest in learning about all subjects and sharpening their minds. 36 students are anticipated to participate and these are from schools across the country such as, G.S. Kiziguro – Kayonza, G.S. Musanze – Musanze, G.S. Nyarubande - Irerero Academy (Southern Province), Highland School (Nyamata). With the support of Isonga Media, students will be queried various questions through diverse subjects like, Mathematics, Science, Biology, Geography, chemistry, and Africa-related general knowledge. Learners will compete in over eight episodes and each episode will have a winner. Winners will scoop learning materials, school supportive equipment, and cash prizes. Weekly episodes of the show will air on RTV every Saturday at 4:00 pm, and the moderator will be TV personality Lucky Nzeyimana. According to Nzeyimana, the first episodes were fun and intense for the students with some being really competitive. He has no doubt that many students will be inspired by the coming seasons. “The competition has developed from a weekly radio show on Radio Rwanda to a TV show. Students have been requesting this, some even called into the radio show to answer questions from a Shupavu 2910 teacher and won prizes that included, cash for those that got the answer right. “This will open up more opportunities for many of the participants,” says Armand Kajangwe, one of the brains behind the competition. She carries on that global students’ competitions have created new opportunities for many participants and given them something to cherish and create memories. Chantal, one of the participants notes that through the quiz, she has been able to meet and connect with new people and craft new friendships-a thing that has boosted her confidence.
