Universities participating in Celtel Africa Challenge (CAC) must conduct open and transparent testing to be eligible to compete in their in-country Qualifying Tournament. The testing must be open to all undergraduate students. CAC provides posters and other promotional materials which the universities utilise to sign-up students for the testing.
Each university may select up to two dates on which to conduct the testing:
Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda:
Available testing dates are 15, 16 ,17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24 and 25 October.
Malawi and Zambia:
Available testing dates are 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26 and27 November.
The CAC Liaison must complete the Test Date Request form.
CAC writes, copies and delivers the tests to the university. The CAC Liaison must securely store them until the date(s) of testing. The test period is 45 minutes in duration and must be supervised by a university faculty or staff member. After the tests are administered, CAC provides the test answer sheet(s) to the CAC Liaison. A university faculty or staff member must score the tests. The actual tests are returned to CAC as proof of administration of the tests.
Following the scoring, 12 to 20 of the high-scoring students are selected to practice the game. CAC provides a computerised version of the game for this purpose. The Coach should conduct these practice sessions and then select the four members of the university's Celtel Africa Challenge Scholars Team.
Student participation is limited to one year and all students must meet eligibility requirements. |
