Our Quiz coverage praised

Wednesday, June 8, 2005

Some Kumasi schools have sent us messages of appreciation for our coverage of the just-ended National Science & Maths Quiz. Ever since the quiz ended, students from all walks of life have praised the website and Prempeh College in general for the dedication to covering the performance of all schools, and not just Prempeh's. People are surprised by the fact that we set up a score board for all the schools, instead of just announcing Prempeh's results.

They were even more impressed by the fact that we gave a live commentary of a final in which Prempeh was not a participant. Students from Kumasi High and Kumasi Academy have given us high praises, and Kumasi Anglican boys, in particular, were touched by the kind remarks we consistently made about them and other Kumasi Schools.

Several people in Kumasi followed the quiz competition regularly on this website and many tuned in here for the final, which was won by St. Peters.

Some of the students who were having vacation classes at Prempeh's campus during the vacation gathered at the College's computer cafe and followed the score by score proceedings at the website.

This was the first time any cameras were allowed in the Quiz Hall during the National Science & Maths Quiz. Prempeh.org has been the first and the only group to have been permitted to take photographs of the Quiz competition. None of the national newspapers have been allowed to take photos in the past, except of the trophy presentations, which are usually photographed by the Quiz organizers themselves.
