A TOTAL of 128 teams, comprising secondary school students from forms 4-6, will participate in a six-week digital business simulation as part of the National Secondary Schools Entrepreneurship Competition (NSSEC).

The teams will run virtual companies which will then be judged on their financial performance, manufacturing efficiency and market performance, among other criteria. The teams will compete to top the leader board for prizes including laptops, tablets and a challenge trophy.

The simulation is meant to allow students with an interest in business and entrepreneurship, to develop practical skills and expand on what they have learnt in the classroom.
