Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, students have been mandated to stay at home in order to curtail the spread of the virus. We understand how boring this may be for students. Therefore, as a way to engage your minds and keep you all busy, SchoolGist will be organizing an online competition tagged "COVID-19 Stay-at-home CBT and Essay Challenge" There will be cash prizes to be won. This is our own little way of contributing towards cushioning the effects of this current situation.
