Do you keep up with international news?<\/p>\n

This quiz will give you a chance to find out.<\/p>\n

The Interschool Quiz made its debut in 1993. It’s a project of the Western Cape Branch of the South African Institute of International Affairs<\/a> (SAIIA), designed to boost interest in global matters. This year, 55 schools participated after ten days of reading articles from the Cape Times<\/a> and special articles from the SAIIA online “Diplomatic Pouch” articles. The winning team earned a cash prize for their school and an invitation to the annual SAIIA Young Leaders Conference. All schools received books for their library.<\/p>\n

P.S.: Don’t feel bad if you flame out. An NPR staffer who covers global topics scored a four out of 13.<\/p>\n
