Six hundred ninety five Filipino students made much headway in the 2014 International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) – English conducted simultaneously in 28 MTG centers/schools in the Philippines last August 2, 2014.

From over 2000 Filipino participants, only 20 managed to be in the top one percent, making themselves eligible to receive the high distinction certificates. Moreover, the one hundred three entrants whose scores settled in the next 10 percent of the participants will receive the distinction certificates while the three hundred eighty seven participants, being in the next twenty five percent, will be awarded credit certificates.

For the first time this year, the Educational Assessment Australia (EAA), an education group of the University of New South Wales that runs the ICAS will be awarding merit certificates to participants who are in the next 10% of the participants after the recipients of the credit certificates. And in the Philippines, there are 185 Filipino students receiving the merit certificates. The remaining participants will receive certificates of participation.

The Philippine Board of Studies Foundation (PBOSF) waits for the ICAS report package containing printed school reports, certificates and student reports from EAA. Those items will be dispatched to the participating schools after PBOSF will finish sorting all certificates.

Furthermore, participants whose names appear below are requested to email their school names to jsw_66@yahoo.com on or before September 30, 2014 or they may not be able to receive their certificates.
