Knowledge is humanity's greatest asset, and the practice and spread of free knowledge plays a vital role in guiding a generation towards an enlightened future. With this conviction in mind, Wikimedia Bangladesh held this special quiz competition for the first time in 2026, with the aim of sparking interest in free knowledge among students, nurturing an inquisitive mindset, and building a knowledge-based community. The core purpose of the competition was to introduce the younger generation to the free knowledge movement and to inspire future knowledge leaders. </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 2.

While platforms offering copy-paste blocking, tab-switching prevention, and AI proctoring did exist, they were prohibitively expensive. The exam was ultimately held via Google Forms. As a consequence, clear evidence emerged that some students used AI assistance during the test. </div> <div style="background:#fdf6ec; border-left:5px solid #e67e22; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0; padding:14px 18px; margin-bottom:16px;"> <div style="font-weight:700; color:#ca6f1e; margin-bottom:6px; font-size:1.02em;">🤝 Volunteer Support Shortage</div> While 2–3 volunteers in Dhaka and Rajshahi provided essential support, the overall level of volunteer engagement fell short of expectations. Since the entire project was designed around a volunteer-driven model, this proved to be a significant obstacle. </div> <div style="background:#f9f0fb; border-left:5px solid #8e44ad; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0; padding:14px 18px;"> <div style="font-weight:700; color:#7d3c98; margin-bottom:6px; font-size:1.02em;">📨 Communication Issues</div> Email (via MailMerge) and bulk SMS (via MiM SMS) were used to reach participants. Some emails ended up in spam folders, and a number of SMS messages failed to reach students despite correct phone numbers being on record — an issue that could not be resolved through customer support. Additionally, approximately '''8% of emails bounced''', due to incorrect addresses or full mailbox quotas. </div> </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 8.

Future Plans & Recommendations == <div style="background: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #d5d8dc; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px 24px; margin-bottom: 8px;"> To continue the competition in 2027, a full model overhaul is recommended. The current approach of visiting schools individually to secure participation is not sustainable given the team's limited capacity and resources. === 📢 Marketing Strategy === * '''CentralNotice:''' Display geo-targeted, customised CentralNotice banners on Wikipedia for each of the 7 divisions separately. * '''Official letters:''' Send formal invitation letters to well-regarded schools in every division. * Run promotional campaigns via Facebook and Google Ads. * Targeted outreach at select large schools, with live streaming of divisional events by media partners. * Add a Club Partnership or School Ambassador form on the website, allowing students to promote the competition at their own institutions in exchange for certificates and souvenirs. * Female student participation was notably low this year. Hosting on-site programmes at girls' schools could help address this gap. === 💻 Technology Development === * '''Build a dedicated web app''' to fully automate registration, online exams, communications, and results. ''[Data backup is essential.]'' * Implement automatic slot allocation — for example, if the platform supports 300 concurrent users but 2,100 students are registered, the system would automatically create 7 slots, assign students, and send each participant their scheduled time via email and SMS. * Automatically generate multiple question sets from a question bank. * '''Basic proctoring:''' Disable copy-paste; automatically terminate the exam if a tab is closed or switched. === 🏫 Revised Exam Structure === * In-person exams to be held only at the divisional level. * 6 students from each upazila/sub-district to be invited to the divisional round. No TA/DA will be provided. * Exams to be administered at school premises under formal agreements, using school venues and invigilators — similar to the civil service examination model. * Top performers from divisional rounds to be invited to Dhaka for a national-level prize-giving event. * If the proposed self-learning course launches before the next edition, its integration with WikiScholar should be explored. </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 9.

Knowledge is humanity's greatest asset, and the practice and spread of free knowledge plays a vital role in guiding a generation towards an enlightened future. With this conviction in mind, Wikimedia Bangladesh held this special quiz competition for the first time in 2026, with the aim of sparking interest in free knowledge among students, nurturing an inquisitive mindset, and building a knowledge-based community. The core purpose of the competition was to introduce the younger generation to the free knowledge movement and to inspire future knowledge leaders. </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 2.

While platforms offering copy-paste blocking, tab-switching prevention, and AI proctoring did exist, they were prohibitively expensive. The exam was ultimately held via Google Forms. As a consequence, clear evidence emerged that some students used AI assistance during the test. </div> <div style="background:#fdf6ec; border-left:5px solid #e67e22; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0; padding:14px 18px; margin-bottom:16px;"> <div style="font-weight:700; color:#ca6f1e; margin-bottom:6px; font-size:1.02em;">🤝 Volunteer Support Shortage</div> While 2–3 volunteers in Dhaka and Rajshahi provided essential support, the overall level of volunteer engagement fell short of expectations. Since the entire project was designed around a volunteer-driven model, this proved to be a significant obstacle. </div> <div style="background:#f9f0fb; border-left:5px solid #8e44ad; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0; padding:14px 18px;"> <div style="font-weight:700; color:#7d3c98; margin-bottom:6px; font-size:1.02em;">📨 Communication Issues</div> Email (via MailMerge) and bulk SMS (via MiM SMS) were used to reach participants. Some emails ended up in spam folders, and a number of SMS messages failed to reach students despite correct phone numbers being on record — an issue that could not be resolved through customer support. Additionally, approximately '''8% of emails bounced''', due to incorrect addresses or full mailbox quotas. </div> </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 8.

Future Plans & Recommendations == <div style="background: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #d5d8dc; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px 24px; margin-bottom: 8px;"> To continue the competition in 2027, a full model overhaul is recommended. The current approach of visiting schools individually to secure participation is not sustainable given the team's limited capacity and resources. === 📢 Marketing Strategy === * '''CentralNotice:''' Display geo-targeted, customised CentralNotice banners on Wikipedia for each of the 7 divisions separately. * '''Official letters:''' Send formal invitation letters to well-regarded schools in every division. * Run promotional campaigns via Facebook and Google Ads. * Targeted outreach at select large schools, with live streaming of divisional events by media partners. * Add a Club Partnership or School Ambassador form on the website, allowing students to promote the competition at their own institutions in exchange for certificates and souvenirs. * Female student participation was notably low this year. Hosting on-site programmes at girls' schools could help address this gap. === 💻 Technology Development === * '''Build a dedicated web app''' to fully automate registration, online exams, communications, and results. ''[Data backup is essential.]'' * Implement automatic slot allocation — for example, if the platform supports 300 concurrent users but 2,100 students are registered, the system would automatically create 7 slots, assign students, and send each participant their scheduled time via email and SMS. * Automatically generate multiple question sets from a question bank. * '''Basic proctoring:''' Disable copy-paste; automatically terminate the exam if a tab is closed or switched. === 🏫 Revised Exam Structure === * In-person exams to be held only at the divisional level. * 6 students from each upazila/sub-district to be invited to the divisional round. No TA/DA will be provided. * Exams to be administered at school premises under formal agreements, using school venues and invigilators — similar to the civil service examination model. * Top performers from divisional rounds to be invited to Dhaka for a national-level prize-giving event. * If the proposed self-learning course launches before the next edition, its integration with WikiScholar should be explored. </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 9.

Knowledge is humanity's greatest asset, and the practice and spread of free knowledge plays a vital role in guiding a generation towards an enlightened future. With this conviction in mind, Wikimedia Bangladesh held this special quiz competition for the first time in 2026, with the aim of sparking interest in free knowledge among students, nurturing an inquisitive mindset, and building a knowledge-based community. The core purpose of the competition was to introduce the younger generation to the free knowledge movement and to inspire future knowledge leaders. </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 2.

While platforms offering copy-paste blocking, tab-switching prevention, and AI proctoring did exist, they were prohibitively expensive. The exam was ultimately held via Google Forms. As a consequence, clear evidence emerged that some students used AI assistance during the test. </div> <div style="background:#fdf6ec; border-left:5px solid #e67e22; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0; padding:14px 18px; margin-bottom:16px;"> <div style="font-weight:700; color:#ca6f1e; margin-bottom:6px; font-size:1.02em;">🤝 Volunteer Support Shortage</div> While 2–3 volunteers in Dhaka and Rajshahi provided essential support, the overall level of volunteer engagement fell short of expectations. Since the entire project was designed around a volunteer-driven model, this proved to be a significant obstacle. </div> <div style="background:#f9f0fb; border-left:5px solid #8e44ad; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0; padding:14px 18px;"> <div style="font-weight:700; color:#7d3c98; margin-bottom:6px; font-size:1.02em;">📨 Communication Issues</div> Email (via MailMerge) and bulk SMS (via MiM SMS) were used to reach participants. Some emails ended up in spam folders, and a number of SMS messages failed to reach students despite correct phone numbers being on record — an issue that could not be resolved through customer support. Additionally, approximately '''8% of emails bounced''', due to incorrect addresses or full mailbox quotas. </div> </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 8.

Future Plans & Recommendations == <div style="background: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #d5d8dc; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px 24px; margin-bottom: 8px;"> To continue the competition in 2027, a full model overhaul is recommended. The current approach of visiting schools individually to secure participation is not sustainable given the team's limited capacity and resources. === 📢 Marketing Strategy === * '''CentralNotice:''' Display geo-targeted, customised CentralNotice banners on Wikipedia for each of the 7 divisions separately. * '''Official letters:''' Send formal invitation letters to well-regarded schools in every division. * Run promotional campaigns via Facebook and Google Ads. * Targeted outreach at select large schools, with live streaming of divisional events by media partners. * Add a Club Partnership or School Ambassador form on the website, allowing students to promote the competition at their own institutions in exchange for certificates and souvenirs. * Female student participation was notably low this year. Hosting on-site programmes at girls' schools could help address this gap. === 💻 Technology Development === * '''Build a dedicated web app''' to fully automate registration, online exams, communications, and results. ''[Data backup is essential.]'' * Implement automatic slot allocation — for example, if the platform supports 300 concurrent users but 2,100 students are registered, the system would automatically create 7 slots, assign students, and send each participant their scheduled time via email and SMS. * Automatically generate multiple question sets from a question bank. * '''Basic proctoring:''' Disable copy-paste; automatically terminate the exam if a tab is closed or switched. === 🏫 Revised Exam Structure === * In-person exams to be held only at the divisional level. * 6 students from each upazila/sub-district to be invited to the divisional round. No TA/DA will be provided. * Exams to be administered at school premises under formal agreements, using school venues and invigilators — similar to the civil service examination model. * Top performers from divisional rounds to be invited to Dhaka for a national-level prize-giving event. * If the proposed self-learning course launches before the next edition, its integration with WikiScholar should be explored. </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 9.

Knowledge is humanity's greatest asset, and the practice and spread of free knowledge plays a vital role in guiding a generation towards an enlightened future. With this conviction in mind, Wikimedia Bangladesh held this special quiz competition for the first time in 2026, with the aim of sparking interest in free knowledge among students, nurturing an inquisitive mindset, and building a knowledge-based community. The core purpose of the competition was to introduce the younger generation to the free knowledge movement and to inspire future knowledge leaders. </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 2.

While platforms offering copy-paste blocking, tab-switching prevention, and AI proctoring did exist, they were prohibitively expensive. The exam was ultimately held via Google Forms. As a consequence, clear evidence emerged that some students used AI assistance during the test. </div> <div style="background:#fdf6ec; border-left:5px solid #e67e22; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0; padding:14px 18px; margin-bottom:16px;"> <div style="font-weight:700; color:#ca6f1e; margin-bottom:6px; font-size:1.02em;">🤝 Volunteer Support Shortage</div> While 2–3 volunteers in Dhaka and Rajshahi provided essential support, the overall level of volunteer engagement fell short of expectations. Since the entire project was designed around a volunteer-driven model, this proved to be a significant obstacle. </div> <div style="background:#f9f0fb; border-left:5px solid #8e44ad; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0; padding:14px 18px;"> <div style="font-weight:700; color:#7d3c98; margin-bottom:6px; font-size:1.02em;">📨 Communication Issues</div> Email (via MailMerge) and bulk SMS (via MiM SMS) were used to reach participants. Some emails ended up in spam folders, and a number of SMS messages failed to reach students despite correct phone numbers being on record — an issue that could not be resolved through customer support. Additionally, approximately '''8% of emails bounced''', due to incorrect addresses or full mailbox quotas. </div> </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 8.

Future Plans & Recommendations == <div style="background: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #d5d8dc; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px 24px; margin-bottom: 8px;"> To continue the competition in 2027, a full model overhaul is recommended. The current approach of visiting schools individually to secure participation is not sustainable given the team's limited capacity and resources. === 📢 Marketing Strategy === * '''CentralNotice:''' Display geo-targeted, customised CentralNotice banners on Wikipedia for each of the 7 divisions separately. * '''Official letters:''' Send formal invitation letters to well-regarded schools in every division. * Run promotional campaigns via Facebook and Google Ads. * Targeted outreach at select large schools, with live streaming of divisional events by media partners. * Add a Club Partnership or School Ambassador form on the website, allowing students to promote the competition at their own institutions in exchange for certificates and souvenirs. * Female student participation was notably low this year. Hosting on-site programmes at girls' schools could help address this gap. === 💻 Technology Development === * '''Build a dedicated web app''' to fully automate registration, online exams, communications, and results. ''[Data backup is essential.]'' * Implement automatic slot allocation — for example, if the platform supports 300 concurrent users but 2,100 students are registered, the system would automatically create 7 slots, assign students, and send each participant their scheduled time via email and SMS. * Automatically generate multiple question sets from a question bank. * '''Basic proctoring:''' Disable copy-paste; automatically terminate the exam if a tab is closed or switched. === 🏫 Revised Exam Structure === * In-person exams to be held only at the divisional level. * 6 students from each upazila/sub-district to be invited to the divisional round. No TA/DA will be provided. * Exams to be administered at school premises under formal agreements, using school venues and invigilators — similar to the civil service examination model. * Top performers from divisional rounds to be invited to Dhaka for a national-level prize-giving event. * If the proposed self-learning course launches before the next edition, its integration with WikiScholar should be explored. </div> <!-- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 9.
