2021 NSMQ finalist fail to arrange the Digestive system in Dubai
Education in the country lack practical exposure and it is theory based : loopholes exposed in Dubai. Ghana Education Service National Science & Maths Quiz
The 2021 NSMQ finalists visited Sharjah Science Museum in Dubai, where the team were asked to arrange the digestive system. Unfortunately,the students failed to do so.Their Science teacher remarked that teaching in our country does not expose students to hands-on experiment or
practical work hence their inability to fix the system.
Deficits
•Colleges or universities of education lack adequate resources to train science teachers.
• Basic schools lack the resources to expose the young learners to practicals.
• Science and maths quiz in the country has no segment for display of practical knowledge, and students are only hailed for the theories they have intentionally memorized overtime in preparation for the quiz.

The above deficits expose an apparent gap in our practical knowledge, and these have affected the quality of graduates and made it difficult for students to practice what they study in school and implement the knowledge in a way that will be beneficial to society. Therefore in order to make young students /graduates solution-oriented, efforts must be made to intensify practical teaching and learning across all schools.
