Partnership with SKT Education Group
NAQT is excited to announce that we are partnering with SKT Education Group to bring middle and high school quiz bowl to a wider audience in China. SKT will support local tournaments run by clubs and run regional tournaments that will serve as qualifiers for a large national championship (which will in turn serve as a qualifier for NAQT’s championships in the United States). NAQT will provide the question sets for these tournaments.
SKT (Skills, Knowledge and Transformation) is the first certified B-Corp (Benefit Corporation) in the Chinese education field. Founded in 2013 with the mission to “Make Education Alive and Inspire Lives,” SKT helps students at all levels thrive in a world of constant changes where learning never stops. As a global, innovative, and professional education service provider, SKT not only offers pristine, high-quality education platforms and curricula, but also provides a platform for students to continually develop their talents. Furthermore, SKT offers an integrated education innovation solution for schools based on 21st-century learning literacy and is dedicated to unleashing students’ potential.
SKT and NAQT plan to bring quiz bowl to hundreds of new schools in the coming years. We look forward to seeing many of these new teams and players at our championships. If you’re interested in participating in quiz bowl in China as a player, coach, staff member, or in any other role, please write to the NAQT China Organizing Committee (naqt@sktedu.com). If you have any questions for NAQT, write to naqt@naqt.com. We are very excited to work with SKT to expand quiz bowl’s international reach.
