The school is the only one to have won the championship two years in a row and retains the record with eight triumphs. In addition to the primary rewards, the NSMQ acknowledged students who performed very well throughout the tournament.
Individuals and teams who performed very well received special recognition. Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, Minister of Education, praised Primetime Limited for keeping the competition going for thirty years.
He remarked that the competition is a wonderful platform for fostering and training young brains for the government’s STEM mission.
Mrs. Nana Akua Mensa-Bonsu, Managing Director of Primetime Limited, stated intentions to launch an All Africa Science and Maths Quiz by 2025, including participation from all African countries.
“In line with our interest in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), an intellectual competition of the calibre of the NSMQ can and should be exported,” she added.
The NSMQ competition is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year since its inception in 1993.
