Achievement in Diverse Educational Progress and Talent Competition (ADEPT)
Achievement in Diverse Educational Progress and Talent Competition (ADEPT) is established by the professional educator team from Australia, Hong Kong and Macau. This competition can connect the students and schools in the World, and help them to develop their soft skills with ability in each subject. ADEPT refers to someone who is highly skilled, proficient, or accomplished in a particular field or area of expertise.
Our vision of the term of “ADEPT”:
Achievement: It signifies the recognition of exceptional achievements.
Diverse: It highlights the inclusion of various areas, approaches, or aspects related to educational progress and talent.
Educational Progress: It encompasses achievements in academic performance, learning outcomes, teaching methodologies, or any other aspect related to educational growth and improvement.
Talent: Talent signifies exceptional abilities, skills, or aptitudes in specific areas.
The purpose to participate in ADEPT
Three-year-student tracking progress report for student
to track the performance and assist them to grow up.
Multiple and diverse questions with pictures.
Questions start from easy to difficult.
Focus on multiple questions (MC) to test the student’sreasoning and judgment ability.
Focus on STEM and interdisciplinary subjects.
Subjects are Chinese (available for Chinese as an additional/ second language participants) , English, Mathematics, Science and Visual Art.
Integrate with national and global questions to gain the experience and knowledge of the participants.
Help to unlock students in diverse areas, ability and performance to find out their self-concept for the subject selection and study pathway.
Cultivate student soft skills and multiple intelligences to face with the challenge of 21st century learning.
The papers for Grade 10-12 or above are modeled after IELTS to help students improve their English proficiency.
Therefore, “Achievement in Diverse Educational Progress and Talent Competition” refers to a competitive platform that celebrates exceptional achievements across diverse areas of educational progress and talent, providing participants with an opportunity to showcase their skills, learn from others, and compete for recognition and rewards.
Subjects available are Chinese (for native speaker), Chinese Plus+ (for non-native speaker), English, Mathematics, Science, Art and Futurepreneurs (Business).
Details for each subject can refer to the registration form.
