There were two major casualties at the end of the regional contest of the 2018 National Science and Maths Quiz for the Central Region.
St Augustine’s College and Mfantsiman Girls’ Senior High School failed to book a place in the national contest.
The regional contests are the qualification rounds for the quiz proper to be held mid-2018 at the University of Ghana.
Already, contests have been held in the Western Region.
Ahantaman Girls’ SHS, Nkroful Agric SHS, Bompeh SHTS, Nsein SHS, Sekondi College, Fijai SHS, Fiaseman SHS and St Mary’s Boys’ SHS are the schools that made it to the national competition from the Region.
