Primetime gives number of private SHSs to contest in 2024 NSMQ

Eight private Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the country will participate in the national championship of the 2024 edition of the National Science and Mathematics Quiz (NSMQ), the producer of the competition, Primetime Limited has said.
In 2023, private second-cycle schools for the first time were featured in the National Science and Mathematics Quiz (NSMQ) when Primetime Limited marked the 30th edition of the science and mathematics competition.
The seven (7) private Senior High Schools included in the 2023 NSMQ were Louis Rutten SHS, Regentropfen SHS, Sonrise Christian High School, Wallahs Academy, Hope College, St. Andrews SHS and Otoo Memorial SHS.
The non-public second-cycle schools’ inclusion in the competition comes after a spokesman for Bright Senior High School at Akyem-Kukurantumi, Dr Isaac Asare called on NSMQ organizers to consider private schools for the contest.
Speaking to the media, Dr Isaac Asare was of the view that private Senior High School (SHS) students should also be allowed to be part of the competition to help boost their morale in the choice of their academic preference.
“We thought it wise to sponsor it this year because we have keenly been following it for a long time and it is our hope that private schools will get the opportunity to join in the competition to show off what we got,” he told journalists.
