CSEC students are in for an exciting educational experience starting in May with the launch of “Brainiacs,” a game show tailored to their syllabus.
Produced by the Guyana Learning Channel in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Brainiacs aims to engage students in a fun and interactive way while reinforcing key concepts from the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) curriculum.
The show, structured in a trivia-style format reminiscent of “Jeopardy,” will cover subjects such as Caribbean History, Mathematics, Science, Information Technology, EDPM, and Social Studies, among others.
Director of the Guyana Learning Channel, Anieshaw Mohamed, emphasized that the questions will be directly based on the CSEC syllabus, catering to students aged 15 to 18.
“Brainiacs” will feature 10 episodes, each comprising three rounds of competition.
Interested students can apply to be contestants by visiting the Guyana Learning Channel’s Facebook page, where a Google form application is pinned.
Mohamed explained that applicants should have achieved a 75% or higher pass rate in their previous and current academic years’ exams, regardless of whether they attend private or public schools.
The game show builds upon the success of “Whiz Kids,” another educational program centered around Common Entrance exams.
In addition to the thrill of competition, contestants stand a chance to win a significant cash prize based on their accumulated points throughout the season.
“Brainiacs” aims not only to entertain but also to support students in their exam preparations by providing educational content within each episode.
With its innovative approach to learning, the show represents a creative initiative to engage and motivate CSEC students while enhancing their understanding of key subject areas.
