Sunyani SHS and Koforidua Sec. Tech. School’s (KSTS) dreams to progress to the next stage in the National Science Maths and Science Quiz (NSMQ) were dashed on Thursday after encountering formidable Sogakope SHS.

It was a smooth contest for Sogakope SHS as its contenders could not put up a compelling fight to turn the tides in their favour.
This is the second time the school has progressed to the quarter-final stage since the beginning of the NSMQ contest in 1994.
Sogakope’s debut at the one-quarter stage was in 2015.
According to JoyNews’ Nana Yaw Gyimah, the school is hopeful of sustaining the gains made so far to emerge winners of the 2021 National Science and Naths Quiz.
