THE students, administrators from ASEAN member states and representatives of the ASEAN Secretariat arrived at the Park Royal Hotel in Nay Pyi Taw from Yangon to take part in the 10th ASEAN Quiz-Regional Level to be held at MICC-II in Nay Pyi Taw on 14 December.

The 30-member group was welcomed by MRTV officials under the Ministry of Infor­mation.

The rehearsal of ASEAN students will be on 13 Decem­ber at MICC-II and they will compete in the 10th ASEAN Quiz-Regional Level on 14 No­vember morning.

The ASEAN countries se­lected first, second and third prize winners between the age of 15-18 by holding the quiz at different levels to represent the countries at the 10th ASE­AN Quiz-Regional Level.

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.
