"The competition favours Grade A schools. There are more innovative talents hidden in the Grade B, C, D & E schools but the nature of the competition only favours Grade A schools where most of the students are smart in memorising and speaking.

If the quiz changes into a practice-based one, it is likely a lot of students from lower grade schools will shine."
