Speaking to the media, Abel Ohene Acquaye, Programme Director at the Academic Talent Development Program, organisers of the Mathleticus Math Tournament was thankful of the schools, teachers, parents and students who made the second season a huge success.
The ATDP, he added, develops credible academic platforms to unlock students' abilities through extracurricular activities, and leverages on international partnerships and best practices to get students in Ghana to be globally competitive in STEAM disciplines.

This season, in the lead up to the main programme, a session was held with Professor Michael Lambrou, of the University of Crete, Greece.
He walked the teachers and students through creative Mathematics concepts and Fun Maths. The online sessions were made possible by the collaboration of the Kangaroo Global (AKSF) which Ghana was accepted as a provisional member this year.
Mathleticus Math Tournament was sponsored by the Ghana Olympiad Academy and the Bronston Canadian Academy.
