Pupils to compete in science event

It's time to brush up on science trivias students, as "The Big Science Challenge" is here. The British Council and Rolls-Royce will test the mettle of students from secondary schools across the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, Jordan and the UK through a competition called ‘The Big Science Challenge.' The Ministry of Education strongly supports the initiative which will run until February 3, 2012. More than 3,000 schools are encouraged to participate in the competition. Students are invited to collaborate with those from other participating countries to share ideas and exchange information.
