It was a thrilling final, and I congratulate our worthy opponents, Presbyterian Boys Secondary School and Keta SHTS, for putting up a gallant performance. In particular, Keta SHTS showed a lot of grit in getting to the final

This National Science and Mathematics (NSMQ) competition has come to stay and it is encouraging to note the massive interest it attracts, even if primarily it is a projection of old-school pride and rivalries

Our team has made us all proud and I am confident that we will gallantly defend the cup next year, and keep it in Kumasi. We shall equal Presec’s six-win record in 2022 and break it the following year,” Dr Matthew Opoku noted.

His congratulatory message comes after Prempeh College on Friday, November 26, 2021, after several rounds in the final of the NSMQ contest, was crowned the ultimate winner beating keta Senior High School and Presec – Legon.
