Keta Senior High Technical School, Mfantsipim School, and St. Augustine’s College are the finalists to compete in this year’s National Science and Mathematics (Quiz) slated for October 30, 2024.
The grand finale of the 2024 NSMQ according to Primetime Limited, producer for the competition will be held at the New Examination Centre (NEC) at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
Mfantsipim School, known as Ghana’s oldest Senior High School, has claimed the NSMQ title twice, in 1999 and 2014. Their formidable contestant, Isaac Mensah, has demonstrated impressive resilience and quick thinking throughout the competition, making him a strong contender to lead Mfantsipim School.
St. Augustine’s College, another powerhouse from the Central Region, has consistently proven its mettle in the NSMQ, winning titles in 2007 and 2019. Known as the “Lords of the Coast,” their reputation for excellence in academics precedes them. This year, Alexander Otoo, their lead contestant, is prepared to uphold that legacy and bring home another victory.
Keta SHTS, from the Volta Region of Ghana, is powered by the enduring “Dzolali Spirit,” which has become a rallying shout for the school and its supporters. They first reached the finals in 2021, finishing as second runner-up, and their determination has only grown stronger since. This year, with Perpetual Sefakor Gakpetor leading the charge, Keta SHTS is poised to make history. If they succeed, it will be the first NSMQ title for a school from the Volta Region—a monumental achievement for both the school and the region.
As Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC), the seven-time winner and reigning champions of the Science and Mathematics Quiz has been kicked out of the contest, we place our bet on St. Augustine’s College to win this year’s trophy
Their spot in the 2024 National Science and Maths final marks their first appearance after four years. They secured the win with a final score of 52 points after a close contest against Ghana National College and Wesley Girls’ High School.
