2025 NSMQ makes history with the number of SHSs to participate
For the second time in National Science and Mathematics Quiz (NSMQ) history since its inception in 1993, a total of 174 Senior High Schools (SHSs) have qualified to participate in the 2025 national championship of NSMQ competition.
The first time history was made last year as the 2024 edition of the National Science and Mathematics Quiz (NSMQ) featured 157 Senior High Schools, a number many thought could not be surpassed.
Included in the 174 record-making figure are 27 seeded Senior High Schools from the 2024 edition of the NSMQ, 106 regional qualifier winners, 32 top-runners-up, and nine private Senior High Schools.
One of the highlights of this year’s National Science and Mathematics (NSMQ) championship is the debut of 15 Senior High Schools, making their first appearance at the National Championship.
The new entrant Senior High Schools to participate in the 2025 NSMQ competition are Abomusu STEM SHS, Agona SHTS, Akro SHTS, Anum Presby SHS, Attafuah SHTS, Juaboso SHS, Mankessim SHTS
The rest are Ngleshie Amanfro SHS, Nyakrom SHTS, Our Lady of Lourdes Girls’ SHS, Prampram SHS, Presby SHS, Adeiso Senya SHS, T.I. AMASS, Salaga, and Wovenu SHTS.
Speaking ahead of the 2024 NSMQ launch, the Managing Director of Primetime Limited, Nana Akua Mensa-Bonsu, said the Science and Maths Quiz has never recorded such a high number of Senior High Schools (SHSs) participation.
“Another new development this year is that, for the first time in National Science and Mathematics Quiz (NSMQ) history, we have 174 schools, including nine private schools, participating in the national championship.
It has never happened before. I must say it takes a little time for new schools to acclimatise, as the NSMQ has its own rhythm and its own demands on the students. However, we hope the private schools will give the government schools a run for their money,” Ms Mensa-Bonsu stated.
In an interview on Joy Prime’s Morning Show monitored by Pretertiary.com, the Managing Director of Primetime Limited, the producer of the NSMQ, emphasised that this marks a significant milestone for the competition.
