Sponsored by Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) and organized by the National Conditions Education (Macau) Association, the “GEG Macau Cup – 17th National Education Competition” (GEG Macau Cup) Grand Final and Prize Presentation Ceremony was held on 15 May at Galaxy International Convention Centre.

With the theme of “New Industrialization, High-Quality Development”, the event attracted over 15,000 students from 26 secondary schools and eight higher education institutions in Macau, which is a new record in terms of scale.

The contestants competed fiercely around the theme, which aimed to provide Macau youth with an in-depth understanding of China’s modern industrial development and its strategic significance in advancement of industrialization, as well as to enhance their sense of belonging to the country. After intense competition in the mandatory quiz, scramble quiz and open question-and-answer sessions, Pooi To Middle School, Keang Peng School and the Macau Polytechnic University were crowned champions.

GEG has title-sponsored the “GEG Macau Cup” for 17 consecutive years since 2009, with 145,000 students participating in the event and promoting national education in Macau. For three consecutive years from 2023, the event has been selected as an affiliated project of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Youth Charity Annual Conference, organized by the China Soong Ching Ling Foundation.

“Upholding the philosophy of ‘Improving the Nation Through Education’ and as the first integrated tourism and leisure enterprise to promote national education among young people, GEG is committed to deepening local youths’ understanding of their country through this program,” said GEG Director Philip Cheng. “Each year after the competition we sponsor award-winning students to visit cities in mainland China and actively leverage our resources to organize a series of diversified activities to provide students with more opportunities to learn about our country’s dynamic development from multiple perspectives.”

With the support of GEG, representatives from the top three schools will in the summer go to Jiangsu for a four-day visit where they will visit government organizations and cutting-edge technology and innovation enterprises to learn more about intelligent manufacturing in China, broaden their horizons and deepen their understanding of China’s national conditions.
