History quiz, anyone?
Top students and teams from UAE schools will have an opportunity to participate in the regional leg of the International History Bee and Bowl (IHBB). The competition, organised by Carian College Advisors, aims to attract the most talented students from across the country.
Following Japan, China, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, England, France and others, the IHBB has added the UAE to the tour that covers Asia, Europe and the USA.
“We are targeting over half a million students from private and public schools in the UAE to compete in this competition,” said Peter Davos, IHBB director of outreach Middle East, and managing director, Carian College Advisors.
“UAE students who excel in the competition will stand a chance to qualify for the Asian Championships this Spring and the inaugural International History Olympiad to be held in the summer of 2015.”
The competition hopes to attract participants from more than 30 schools in the UAE, to be added to the thousands of participants from countries such as South Korea, China, Thailand, and Malaysia, with future stops planned in Singapore, Sri Lanka, England, Germany, Switzerland and France.
“IHBB and Carian College Advisors are thrilled to be launching our history quiz tournaments in the UAE, and we look forward to giving students a new opportunity to get excited about studying history. Students around the world have enjoyed competing in the IHBB, and we know that students in the UAE will also have a great time putting their history skills to use in a fast-paced buzzer quiz competition,” said Davos.
The international competition, which will hold approximately 12-15 regional tournaments throughout Asia, is seeking to use the upcoming April tournament in Dubai as its showcase competition in the Middle East this year. The competitions will take place on April 26 at GEMS Winchester School in Jebel Ali.
