Unite the Nations is one of the ONLY International Research Competitions where the students themselves create the test. Students pick those topics and sources of pride to share and invite students around the world to explore and to discover their home country. We really do unite as nations when we share the best of ourselves in this manner in fun loving competition. This year the test included 350 questions representing 14 different countries. 23 Schools participated in this test representing 14 of the 25 countries in this year’s project.

The test was particularly challenging this year with only the top 3 schools scoring in the 80s percentile. However the vast majority of schools scored in the 70s percentile and no one failed the test this year. We wanted to give special mention to some of our schools that faced great hardship owing to politicial conflict or extreme weather conditions. Those schools braved their circumstances to connect with students around the world and Unite through the Nations. Remember Time Project Stands with our fellow educators around the world who face extreme conditions and still provide quality education under extrordinary circumstances. TIME PROJECT salutes each of you.
Congratulations to all of our Unite the Nations Participants and to all TIME SCHOOLS both off and on line for an excellent 28th year and Day in TIME!
