The NE Quiz aims to test pupils’ knowledge and understanding of National Education. It is administered to all pupils (including PRs and foreign students) at milestone points in the education system - Primary 6 and Secondary 4.
The NE Quiz takes the form of a computer game. There are two versions of the game - primary and secondary. Primary school pupils will play the Operation Labyrinth (Primary) game. Secondary school pupils will play The Nation Builder (Secondary) game.
The quiz questions cover six domains: Citizenship and Civic Participation, Nationhood, Symbols, Heritage, Governance, Challenges. Quiz questions are in multiple-choice or matching formats. There are four levels of difficulty -- a basic level and three advanced levels. The basic level has 10 questions, each of which has three parallel forms. Each advanced level has 20 questions.
To pass the quiz, pupils will have to answer correctly at least 8 out of the first 10 questions in the game at the basic level. When pupils pass the quiz, they will attain the rank of Lieutenant (for Operation Labyrinth, Primary) or Junior Builder (for The Nation Builder, Secondary).
