The ‘Graduate Online Youth Quiz’ is a free on-line educational Quiz for primary and post primary students throughout Ireland. Many national public and private organisations and European institutions support the Quiz through sponsorship and the provision of prizes.
The aim of the Quiz is to increase students civic, social and political awareness in an innovative, fun and engaging manner. The Quiz encourages students to develop an understanding of how various public institutions work, how they interact with young people and how they impact upon their everyday lives, as well as developing their Internet and computer skills.

The Quiz operates on an annual basis during the academic year, starting in September and concluding in May each year. Students can register to participate at any time during the academic year by logging on to the website (www.graduate.ie). Each week a new set of questions relating to areas as diverse as the Arts, environment, politics, health and safety, the Irish language, music, sport, European affairs, etc becomes available on the website. The website provides links to the relevant websites and WebPages making it easy for students to correctly answer the questions.

Every Monday, a computer randomly selects five weekly winners and the appropriate schools are notified that one of their pupils has won a prize – the school principals communicate this information to the entire school. The names of the five winners are then announced on RTE 2FM each Monday evening.
