National Quiz to be held at Legon?

Monday, April 24, 2006

This year's National Science and Maths Quiz which is due to take place in June may likely be held on the campus of the University of Ghana and not the Achimota School as has been done over the years, according to some yet unconfirmed reports.

This year's competition promises to be a keener one because schools which have "ran" away from the competition for sometime now will make their way back. Schools like Kumasi's St Louis Secondary and Pope John's Secondary will make a come back while others make their first appearance.

It is also rumoured that this year's competition will be a "fixed win" for any of the girls schools as the organisers strive to hammer on girl-child education. This disturbing news is prevalent in Accra that the organisers have already decided to "help" a girls school win.

Others are saying that any of the schools that have won it once will be helped to win it. Schools like Prempeh, Presec and Peters will be hindered from winning the trophy for keeps unless the students fight the stage fright and discouragement that will come from Eureka, the quiz mistress.

However, Sebastian and his boys are prepared to do battle for the college after their Cape Coast conquest and therefore are not perturbed by the rumours at all.
