Proficiency Olympiad

    Description
    Description
    Proficiency Olympiad is an online MCQ assessment, followed by activity-based workshops on global goals. It assesses and evaluates in 30 minutes the minimum knowledge of SDGs. For a sustainable future tomorrow, it is crucial to educate current and future decision-makers about the important role they play in building a sustainable future. Learning will help them make informed decisions, thereby driving change and making an impact. This assessment is applicable to students all over the world, from grades 3 to 12.
    Expected Impact

    All the questions in this assessment will ensure that the future decision-makers have the basic required knowledge on sustainable development and their future roles and responsibilities. The scope of the assessment covers general questions on the challenges the world is facing and also on specific sustainable development goals, along with meeting the curriculum objectives of the students.

    Capacity

    Proficiency Olympiad is in the process of building an LMS platform, which will be accessible to all the students registered with us. The platform would include courses, quizzes, assignments and activities from their curriculum in alignment with the SDGs. It will also contain information regarding how they can engage in the achievement of SDGs globally and locally, help them make informed decisions, engage in activities and make an impact.
