It is especially important for teachers where learners will be writing under supervision at school, since all the participation and invigilation instructions for teachers will be posted here. Furthermore, this "course" also serves as the mirror "course" for teachers to the 2025 IMC Team Selection for Learners "course" in order for teachers to also have a sense how the "course" looks for the learners.
