The CARICOM Regional Quiz is being conducted to mark
the Thirty-fifth Anniversary of the Signing of the
Treaty of Chaguaramas.
It is aimed at increasing the knowledge of
students about the Caribbean Community and the
integration movement in areas such as the CARICOM
Single Market and Economy (CSME); the Caribbean
Court of Justice (CCJ); ongoing work in Human and
Social Development such as the Pan Caribbean
Partnership (PANCAP) against HIV/AIDS; the
development of strategies to cope with climate
change; CARICOM in the Information Society and
CARICOM’s interface with the international
community.
Participants for the Quiz are drawn from among
middle grade students of secondary schools.
The 2008 staging of the Quiz is sponsored in
collaboration with the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) and has been organized in four
stages - the preliminary rounds at the national
level; the zonal rounds; the semi finals and the
regional finals.
The winners of the 2008 staging will be presented
at the Conference of Heads of Government on 1st
July.
