October 28, 2024 — Zaheed Abubakar, a mathematics wizard from the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT-1) program, emerged as a standout contender in the recent Provincial Philippine Statistics Quiz. The competition showcased the intellectual prowess of participants from eleven higher education institutions, with each institution fielding a team of three quizzers to compete in rigorous rounds of questioning. The event was held at the Brookside Hotel, Datu Ingkal Street, Kidapawan City.

Abubakar’s remarkable performance in the difficult round of the quiz bee earned him a perfect score—a testament to his extensive knowledge and thorough preparation in statistics. His exceptional skills not only reflected his personal dedication but also highlighted the academic rigor of the BSIT program.

After a closely contested battle among the quizzers, Zaheed Abubakar was declared first runner-up. This achievement qualifies him for the upcoming regional eliminations of the Philippine Statistics Quiz, slated to be held in Koronadal City next month. The next level of competition presents an exciting opportunity for Abubakar to further sharpen his statistical acumen and represent his institution on a larger stage

Representing Colegio de Kidapawan alongside Abubakar were Evangelyn Roa from the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM-1) program and Jessiemie Pendatun from the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd-1) program. Despite their earnest efforts and commitment to preparation, Roa and Pendatun faced early elimination, demonstrating the fierce level of competition in the event.

Abubakar’s success has been met with enthusiasm among his peers and faculty members, who recognize his dedication and hard work as an inspiration to fellow students. As excitement builds for the regional eliminations, the academic community eagerly anticipates his continued success in showcasing his skills and knowledge.

Grounded in SDG 4: Quality Education, the competition honed students’ statistical knowledge, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills. It likewise advances SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure by cultivating the data literacy and technological competencies needed in an innovation-driven society. The participation of eleven higher education institutions further embodies SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, strengthening collaboration among academic institutions in promoting excellence, innovation, and lifelong learning.
