Public and private secondary schools across Nigeria have been reminded that Sunday, February 3, 2019, is the deadline to register their students for this year’s Cowbellpedia Senior Secondary Mathematics Television Quiz Show. The reminder came from the Marketing Manager of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, Mr Abiodun Ayodeji, who emphasized that registration is strictly online through the website www.cowbellpedia.ng and is free of charge.
Ayodeji urged students not to miss the opportunity to be part of the competition. He explained that each school is allowed to present five candidates between 10 and 18 years old for both the junior and senior categories. According to him, the registration process requires the candidate or school to visit the website, click on the link titled Register your school, fill the form, and submit.
He went on to detail the next steps. “The link in the email received would be used to verify the email address and, on successful login, click on Add Candidates under Candidate Management, fill in the candidate’s information, upload the candidate’s picture and click the Save Draft button. Save the draft information for five (5) candidates for each category before you submit their registration,” he explained.
Ayodeji also disclosed that once data entry had been completed for all candidates, the Register button should be clicked to finish the process. He added that “a confirmation slip will be generated to download and will also be mailed to the school, candidate or parent/guardian’s email address. Print the confirmation slip and have it stamped and signed by the school principal. The confirmation slip will be required for admitting candidates at the examination venue.”
All confirmed candidates will take part in the Stage 1 Qualifying Written Examination at their designated centres nationwide on Saturday, February 9, 2019. The competition continues a tradition that has lasted 21 years, during which Cowbell Milk, the flagship brand of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, has shown strong commitment to Mathematics development through various initiatives.
The brand also sponsors the Cowbellpedia Radio Programme, a five-minute interactive Mathematics broadcast on major radio stations across Nigeria. In addition, the Cowbellpedia Mathematics Mobile App is available on Google Play Store and Apple Store, allowing students to practice and sharpen their knowledge of Mathematics.
