A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. Another season of the National Science & Maths Quiz (NSMQ) has begun in earnest with nearly 500 senior high schools (SHS) across the country battling it out for 108 slots available at the national championship which will happen later in October 2021.

There will be over 108 separate contests to be held in all 16 Regions and the winners qualify for the finals in Accra; except in the Upper East Region where there will be two hurdles to surmount.

The winners of the seven regional contests will ballot and meet in the second hurdle. In a three separate contest, the winners plus two highest scoring losing schools will progress to the national championships.

The competition produced by Primetime Limited will start in Upper West and Greater Accra Regions from Monday May 3, 2021 and expected to end from within the Eastern Region on Thursday, June 3.
