Dr Banful advised them not to be complacent but maximize the exposure and opportunities the competition has offered them to build successful careers that impact Ghana and the world as a whole.
The National Science & Maths Quiz, the longest-running independent production on television in Ghana, started in 1993 with the aim of promoting the study of the sciences and mathematics, while fostering healthy academic rivalry among senior high schools.
The programme is very popular with not only its main target group-Senior High School students- but also with parents and especially with former students (old boys and girls), who take great pride in the performance of their schools.
St. Augustine’s College in Cape Coast won the 2019 edition after beating five-time champions Presbyterian Boys’, Legon and last year’s winners, St. Peters SHS, Nkwatia at the Grand Finale held at the National Theatre in July.
In 2018, Medifem Hospital became the official healthcare partner of the competition providing healthcare cover to the competing students, teachers and production crew during the one-month period wherein the competition takes place in Accra.
This forms part of initiatives to underline the hospital’s commitment to social responsibility especially in the educational sector.
