After a long hiatus due to the extraordinary circumstances resulting from the global spread of COVID19, the International Testing Authority (ITA), the organizer of the KGL International English Language Competition revealed the results of the 2nd stage of the said contest participated in by the Philippines last March 7, 2020.
The ITA disclosure showed that fourteen Filipino students aced the competition by obtaining the top three spots, 1st, 2nd and 3rd places, 95 others bagged the commendation award and 14 reaped the certificates of achievement.
The current uncertainties surrounding the present realities compelled ITA to postpone the KGL Global Event which was due to take place from 4-6 June 2020 in Amiens, France. It will be rescheduled later this year depending on the global development of COVID19 which the organizer monitors closely.
However, the Philippine Board of Studies Foundation, Inc. will no longer participate in the final round of the 2020 KGL International English Language Contest because of more and more travel restrictions being put into place by most countries.
The certificates will be in the participants’ hands as soon as PBOSF, Inc will receive the soft copies from the organizer.
At any rate, congratulations to the following Filipino students for making it to the top three places in these levels: Pre A1 level, A1 level, A2 level, B1 level and B2 level:
