The 2020 National Science & Maths Quiz (NSMQ) is getting heated with a mix of excitement and sadness.

Schools such as Prempeh College, Wesley Girls High School, Holy Child, St. Peters School, Pope John and current champions St. Augustine’s College have all been kicked out of the competition. 

Meanwhile Boa Amponsem SHS, Aburi Presbyterian SHTS, Achimota School, Adisadel College and Kumasi Academy have all booked a place in the semifinals.

Other semifinalists are Keta SHS, Accra Academy, Opoku Ware and Presbyterian Boys Secondary School, Legon. 

The Absa Money Zone which begins from the quarterfinals stage through to the grand final rewards all contesting teams with a cash prize based on their score points earned in each contest.

Commenting, Cyril Nai, Head of Marketing at Absa Bank Ghana said the Absa Money Zone is to motivate contestants to give off their best as well as reward them for their hard work and determination. 

“Apart from rewarding all contestant with cash, the Absa Money Zone, more importantly, is to encourage contestants to keep up a positive attitude.

"When the going gets tough and to motivate them to compete with honour, knowing that they will be rewarded for every point they earn,” Mr Nai said.

The NSMQ2020 Absa Money Zone prize value for all stages has been increased.

The final scores of each school would be multiplied by ¢10.00, ¢15.00 and ¢25.00 as prize money from the quarterfinal, semi-final and final stages respectively.
