On the memrise site click Courses in the header bar, then if you only type “current” in the search bar this course will come up on top of the results.
Cool! Found it:

New Zealand prime minster is now Jacinda Ardern

As of 7 August 2018, Juan Manuel Santos is no longer president of Colombia. Iván Duque Márquez now holds that office.
As of 18 August 2018, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is no longer prime minister of Pakistan. Imran Khan now holds that office.

As of 24 August 2018, Malcolm Turnbull is no longer prime minister of Australia. Scott Morrison now holds that office.
If you want, I’d love to be a contributor to the course. I see many heads of state and heads of government that are outdated and I know a few that will be outdated in a few weeks.
Thanks for the good work!

Just adding some more tags to the mix.
Can I join as a contributor? Would love to help keep it up-to-date!
Hey, you should now be able to edit the courses. Don’t forget to move the leaders into the ex-leaders level and not remove them and also filling in their term next to their “definition”/title. E.g. David Cameron “United Kingdom (Prime Minister 11 May 2010 - 13 July 2016)”. Do the same with the image levels.
Also don’t forget to keep the countries in the same order as they’re sorted by GDP (that took a lot of work )
Thanks for helping out. I’ve been really busy these couple of months and haven’t been able to contribute.
Here are some good resources to use when you’re keeping track of recent changes:

Good luck!
Oh and https://forvo.com/ for the pronunciation if they’re available and at least 3 images for every leader.
Wonderful! Thanks a ton! I’ll do my best to keep it orderly.
Alright Thanks for the help!
Thanks so much @DonAlonzo! It’s a lot of work keeping this course up to date. We have had many course contributors over the years, but most fall off at some point. I’m not very active on here anymore myself, as life got busier for me. Fortunately, there always seem to be new people stepping up.
Added Jair Bolsonaro to “leaders in waiting.” Should I forget, someone please update this on January 1.
Hi! Not sure if any of the contributors know or not, but the Ex-leaders (Photos) level has an issue, you can’t complete it. I think it’s specifically Hassan Sheikh Mohamud that’s causing the issue.
Hi! What do you mean can’t complete? I’ll revise it.
Thanks for the insight
Btw Im creating the Forbes ‘18 if anyone wants to check it out
Should be fixed by now.
Thanks!
I noticed the Forbes ‘18, thanks for adding it!
Not huge deal (and I imagine a bit of a hassle to maintain considering how volatile it is lol) but the U.S. Cabinet is a little out of date.
HI @Genghis !
The course is broken, you can’t complete it. I believe the issue is “US Cabinet - Trump Administration (Photos)” the course expects there to be 16 photos but there’s only 5.
Also I was interested in becoming a contributor so I can help with these issues.
