THE 2019 Institute of Business Studies (IBS) College of Tvet maths/ information technology (IT) inter-school competition for grades 10 and 12 was hosted at 11-Mile, Port Moresby, last Friday.
The three-rounds competition began last month with 443 students from 11 secondary schools within NCD and Central participating.
Hundred forty eight students progressed into the second round and sat for their respective exams on Friday.
