Tema Methodist SHS on Tuesday won the second contest in the preliminary stage of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ).

Three schools featured in the second contest on Tuesday afternoon held at GNAT Hall of the University of Ghana.

To prove their worth, Tema Methodist SHS and Our Lady of Mercy SHS battled it out fiercely with Holy Trinity SHS lagging to secure a spot in the next round of the competition.
