According to the Indian School Sohar principal Times of Oman’s interschool quiz is a very good endeavour.
“This is an era of internet, mobile whatsapp facebook and many others and TOO is taking the students away from all this to a mentally challenging and a very stimulating activity,” Sanchitha Verma said.
“Quizzes increase our information, making us feel that we spent time usefully, and as a result invoked our emotions for spending more valuable time to learn and discover,” Principal added.
She explained that students learn a lot of things in school but quizzes like TOOISQC take them beyond the curriculum and outside the confines of the classroom.
According to her students in Sohar are very enthusiastic about the TOOISQC and many parents are showing interest in the quiz.
For Mohammed Hani who participated in the junior category from Indian School Sohar, the qualifier was an easy one.
“Questions were a bit easy and I am confident that we can easily qualify to the next easily,” another team in the junior category asserted. According to a parent Times of Oman’s quiz is a learning platform for the students.
“It gives a good experience and exposure to our children which will go a long way in their personality development,” he said.
“Students will be able to taste sweet victory if they pull through, but if they lose they will be able to pinpoint the things that went wrong. It will encourage them to try harder the next time,” he added.
