Achimota School, Opoku Ware School, and Presec Boys School will go head-to-head in a battle of wits and knowledge. This year’s competition promises to be intense, with each school vying for the ultimate glory.

A Prestigious Event

The NSMQ is a prestigious science and math competition for senior high schools in Ghana, organized by Primetime Limited and sponsored by the Ghana Education Service in partnership with Goil PLC, and supported by A.T, Prudential Life Insurance Ghana, and Pepsodent. The competition is divided into three stages: the preliminary stage, the quarter-final stage, and the semi-final stage. The top three schools from the semi-final stage qualify for the grand finale.

The Grand Finale Format

The 2023 NSMQ Grand Finale will consist of five intense rounds, each designed to challenge the participants’ knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork. Let’s take a closer look at what each round entails:

Round 1: General Questions

In the first round, participants face a barrage of general science and math questions covering a wide range of topics. This round is all about testing the fundamentals of science and math knowledge.

Round 2: Pepsodent Speed Race

The second round is a timed challenge where schools compete to answer as many questions as possible in a short period. These questions are more challenging than in Round 1, and the clock is ticking, making it a true test of speed and knowledge.

Round 3: Problem of the Day

This round features a challenging problem that requires the schools to work together to solve. The problem typically relates to a real-world application of science or math, emphasizing problem-solving and teamwork.

Round 4: True/False

In Round 4, participants face a series of true or false statements related to science and math. The schools must decide whether each statement is true or false, with penalties for incorrect answers.

Round 5: Riddle

The final round presents a riddle related to science or math. Schools must work together to solve the riddle and are awarded points for each correct answer.

The Ultimate Prize

The school with the highest number of points at the end of the third round will be crowned the champion of the 2023 NSMQ Grand Finale. With all three finalist schools boasting impressive track records, this year’s contest is expected to be a close one. Achimota School is a two-time champion of the NSMQ, while Opoku Ware School and Presec Boys School have each claimed the title seven times.

A Legal Twist

In a related development, Prempeh College has taken legal action against Primetime, the organizers of the 30-year-old competition. They are seeking a court injunction on the 2023 NSMQ Grand Finale, citing their elimination in the semi-finals. This legal dispute adds an intriguing layer of drama to the competition.

Conclusion

As the 2023 NSMQ Grand Finale approaches, the excitement is palpable. Three prestigious schools will vie for the championship in a high-stakes battle of intellect. The competition is not only a test of knowledge but a showcase of teamwork, problem-solving skills, and sheer determination.
