Author We found this great news story on Youtube about student Moosa F from Pakistan. It’s amazing to see the fanfare surrounding his return to Pakistan after he was flown to Sydney for World Education Games Official Awards Ceremony at the Opera House. Moosa came 1st in World Maths Day 2012, in the 11-13 age division.
It’s great to see this recognition for his amazing achievements.

The Final Stretch of the World Education Games!
If you haven´t finished your games in Science this is the right time to do it!
March 6 was a reeeeaaaally busy day! My school opened at 6 a.m, and we stayed there until late. In the afternoon, we had a lot of special visitors, one of them was the Guatemalan Minister of Education!

My Job As An Ambassador In Nigeria, A Developing Country
My name is Somtochukwu, 2012 World Education Games Ambassador to Nigeria. My job as an ambassador to Nigeria has been very exciting and somehow difficult. It is exciting and fun because with the help of the management and teachers of my school Ladybird Nursery/Primary School, I have been exposed to carry out a National Press Conference – Wednesday, 22nd February 2012 during which many reporters from the print and electronic media attended.

I also had the opportunity to visit and address many students in Lagos State, Nigeria:
- Corona Schools, Gbagada
- Grace Children Schools, Gbagada
- Indian Language School, Ilupeju
- S.T. & T. Regency School, Ikeja
- Christ The King Int’l School, Gbagada
- St. Gloria’s School, Maryland
- Chrisland Schools, Opebi – Ikeja
- Awesome College, Town Planning Way, Ilupeju
- Halifield Schools, Maryland
- Christ The Redeemer’s College, Gbagada
- St. Sophia International, Anthony

My ambassadorial job has somehow been difficult because I could not travel round the whole country in Nigeria. It has also being difficult because more than 95% of the schools in Nigeria do not have computers or an internet connection, hence they will not be able to take part in this wonderful World Education Games.
~
Only very few schools have computers, and they are not even connected to the internet. To make it possible for one of the public schools “National Primary School”, Gbagada – Lagos, Nigeria, to take part in this 2012 World Education Games, the management of my school, Ladybird Nursery/Primary School, Gbagada, donated 5 High Powered Modern Laptops with Internet Connection to the school.

I hope that those schools that have computers with internet connections that I visited and those schools which might have read or heard about 2012 World education Games in the print and electronic media are taking part in the games as we in Ladybird Nursery/Primary School are doing now.
Friends, I must go now to see how my fellow students are doing in World Education Games in Ladybird Nursery/Primary School.
Bye for now!
Buenos Dias! World Education Games around the World

Australian Ambassadors Meet Olympic Gold Medallist Leisel Jones
The eight Australian Ambassadors were flown to Sydney on monday for a special briefing and presentation at Middle Harbour Public School.
The Ambassadors were privileged to meet Leisel Jones, an Australian swimmer with eight Olympic medals to her name, three of them gold. Leisel presented the Ambassadors with their iPod touches and gave them an inspiring and thought provoking presentation on what it means to train hard and represent your country.
The Ambassadors then had a chance to test their skill against Leisel and pupils at Middle Harbour Public School by playing some World Maths Day games.
