Two local pupils were among the six winners at a world championship where they demonstrated their mastery of Microsoft Office products.
According to a statement from Certiport, a US-based authorised testing centre, yesterday, some 700,000 students competed in the championship and just 150 candidates managed to get into the final round of the competition which took place in Orlando, Florida.
The finalists were tasked with recreating Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents in less than 50 minutes and six came out on top, including two from Macau, two from Hong Kong, one from Bulgaria and one from the US.
