Hey everyone! The National Economics and Fund Management Quiz (NEFMQ) committee has made some progress in our preparation for this year's NEFMQ! :)
Anyway, for those who are unclear on what NEFMQ is, it is a prestigious annual inter-junior college Economics competition consisting of a Preliminary round and a Final round. The Preliminary round will be held on 17th July 2006 (Wednesday). Each junior college will send 50-55 students to take part in the Preliminary round which consists of 20 multiple choice questions, 10 calculation questions and 10 fund management questions from our distinguished sponsor, GIC (Government of Singapore Investment Corporation).
The four top performing junior colleges will send four student representatives each to take part in the Finals, which will be held on 22 July 2006 (Saturday), University Cultural Centre (UCC). Be prepared for a few hours of excitement as you see the four schools battle it out during the Speed, Buzzer and Presentation rounds for the much coveted championship!
We are honoured to have Mr Chan Soo Sen, Minister of State for Education, as our Guest-of-Honour for the Finals.
All the junior colleges have expressed interest in participating in this competition. Yay!!!
The NEFMQ committee has come out with questions for the NEFMQ Preliminary round. It is currently being vetted by our helpful and brainy seniors, Kwee Lim and Eddie, after which the questions will be sent to professors from the Economics department for further vetting.
Hopefully, we can upload photos of us doing work in future! It's a pity we didn't hire a cameraman to take pictures of us hard at work (which, sadly, are not at all scandalous in nature)... anyone interested to be our photographer? Watch out this place for further NEFMQ updates! Meanwhile, take care :)
