The ASEAN countries host the quiz once every two years. The first to eighth events were conducted as physical events and the ninth event held in Singapore in 2020 was an online event due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
This year, Myanmar will host the hybrid event and a total of 18 students – three each from Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar and Viet Nam – will participate in person and the students from Brunei, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand will join online.
The event will be organized in a computerized quiz system using the Quiz 360 software. The event preparation, entertaining programmes, installation of video cameras, technical arrangements, networking and Quiz 360 software test were conducted at MICC-2 Nay Pyi Taw starting 10 December. — MNA/KTZH
