DATT National Primary School Quiz

The Diabetes Association of Trinidad and Tobago is pleased to announce it’s fourth annual National Primary School Quiz. This quiz forms part of our Diabetes Education and Awareness in Primary Schools (DEAPS) initiative. Our goal is to promote diabetes and general health education in primary schools to foster health-conscious children who can be health advocates in their communities. The diabetes quiz will encourage children at this formative age to increase awareness about the signs and symptoms of diabetes, its complications, and prevention.

The quiz comprises of three (3) rounds:

  1. 1) Preliminary round – children will study the KiDS diabetes booklet and DATT information booklet, and then complete the online quiz.
  2. 2) Semi–final round – The top 60 students will be chosen and provided with additional material to study. They will then be invited to the DATT Head Office in Chaguanas or the DATT Sub Office in Tobago to complete a written quiz.
  3. 3) Final round – The top 10 students will be selected and given further study material. They will then compete for the winner’s title in an oral quiz at the Chaguanas Borough Corporation.
