InterswitchSPAK is an annual search across high schools (public and private) in Nigeria for only SS 2 (year 11) students between the ages of 14-17 years.It is introduced to chart the ideal career path and drive the student towards full optimization of their potentials and fulfillment of their dreams (either as an inventor or entrepreneur) with a key message of revving up the interest of students; parents, teachers and other key stakeholders towards STEM education and its application in Africa.


SPAK OBJECTIVES

To arouse and sustain keen interest in the study of STEM in high schools across Africa.

To raise the standard of STEM education and reward excellence with educational grants through an unbiased competition that would promote sound education in Africa.

To create a vehicle that is genuinely interested in the growth, development, and well-being of Africa students and teachers through various interventions including scholarship schemes for outstanding STEM students.



HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

This competition is open to students in SSS2 (year 11) between 14 – 17 years; attending full-time Secondary Education in both Public and Private Schools in Nigeria.

Participation in this competition is FREE.

Registration to participate is strictly online via www.interswitchspak.com

Each School is required to present their BEST six (6) students in Science (SS2 students), irrespective of religion, tribe or state of origin, to enhance their chances of qualifying for the second round of the competition.

Mixed-schools are required to have at least two female students-amongst the six(6)  that would represent them.

There are many examination centers across Nigeria.

Commendable... but we still hv a long way to go in the Educational sector.

Good one. Not only cowbell competition. More organizations should also come out and encourage our education system.

Good!

This is what BBN should be doing. Not acting porn.

A good initiative towards Corporate social responsibility

Interswitch Arrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Of course yes. . .

I remembered way back when we used to have Bournvita Brain Match

It was worth watching and quite encouraging to want to study more

Nigeria don't value science graduates

Is this sector still alive in this country sef

Does all this really boil down to the winner getting an educational grant? .and really?...all schools are required to send 6 participants? ...and how is this going to resuscitate the education system? Wayyy too much froth too little substance.

Good one interswitch. Shame on all those putting millions on music competitions and BB9ja that does not improve the country in any way.

I trust Interswitch projects but these days they seem to be getting frustrated employees from from dead banks who dont get the vision of the founding fathers of the company. They need to watch it before they rubbish their legacies.

"Mixed-schools are required to have at least two female students-amongst the six(6) that would represent them."

What if there's no female student among their best students? INJUSTICE

Nigeria does not have an education system.

This is a good one and commendable.

JimloveTM:
This is what BBN should be doing. Not acting porn.

They are only responding to our preferences for lewd sexual activities instead of serious education.
Check number of comments and views on this thread and others like it in seriousness, then compare with those on BBN.
When we are ready we will start doing what is right for our development.

These are the kind of things we should be encouraging in this country if we want to make headway in science and technologu

Yes,this what BBN should be doing and not that life of prostitute things

Ds is laudable nd of cos highly commendable. But I advocate dat d organisers shuld focus more on d intrinsic qualities and capacity of d lucky participants rather than limiting d assessment 2 theoretical vague.
Big thanx!

There will be competition in each school for the emergence of the six

Yes, cases of ur view are quiet possible. But I think skools in ds category wf a concrete proof shuld be favorably considered.
