According to Napoleon de Graft Etsison, Deputy Head of KNUST Primary School, the 5^TH annual inter-classes quiz competition is geared towards giving students a break from traditional classroom learning.

“To reinvent the educational system and give pupils a break from traditional classroom learning, there is a dire need to revive the quiz culture in our schools.

“In addition, technology can act as a facilitator by bringing innovation to quizzes and ensuring active participation amongst pupils,” he noted

He believes quizzes redefine the educational system in significant ways.

“In the educational context a quiz serves as a brief assessment to gauge the skills, abilities, and knowledge of pupils

“This will help to redefine the educational system in significant ways,” he emphasized.
