A group of 31 talented Ghanaian children have departed for Malaysia to showcase their mental prowess as they gear up for the UCMAS International competition in Malaysia.

These young minds, armed with exceptional skills in mental arithmetic, will be representing Ghana with pride.

The children are expected to arrive in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, November 30, ahead of the competition on December 2 and 3.

The team will compete at various levels, including basic and elementary.

Aside from the competition, the team will also be exploring the breathtaking tourist sites in Malaysia, including the Sunway Lagoon Water Theme Park, Genting Highland Theme Park, and GL Play Theme Park, just to mention a few.

They will also call on Ghana’s ambassador to Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.

Joy Prime will bring you exclusive coverage of the team’s exploits in Malaysia.

The UCMAS programme was started in Ghana about 16 years ago by Maurya Education Limited. 

During this period, many Ghanaian children have won many laurels for the country on the international stage.

In 2012, Kwabena Asamoah Amoah emerged as the overall UCMAS champion during the international contest.

He went on to receive a full scholarship from a university in the USA.

The initiative has grown to cover the country, with many schools adding the programme to their curricula.

Stay tuned to Joy Prime as it brings you exclusive coverage of their journey and achievements in this prestigious competition.
