As Luv FM launched the sixth edition of the Primary Schools Quiz, 36 schools will compete for the winning trophy and the bragging rights as the best primary school in the Ashanti region.

The event launch and balloting, attended by educators, students, contestants and some community leaders, underscores Luv FM's dedication to promoting education in the region.

Including the defending champions, HOPFA Educational Centre, the finalists will battle it out in groups of three.

The competition will take place over the next six weeks, with participating schools pitched against each other in a series of challenging rounds. In recognition of their efforts, top-performing schools and individual students will receive trophies, certificates, and educational materials.
