In today’s world, general knowledge is becoming highly significant, which is remarkable. As a result, the SOF established the IGKO (International General Knowledge Olympiad) for students in grades 1 to 10. The IGKO Olympiad Syllabus is mandatory reading for students participating in the IGKO Olympiad. Its purpose is to stimulate students’ interest in current events and broaden their understanding.
