NSMQ 2024 Finals: Keta SHTS, Mfantsipim, and St. Augustine’s College Face Off in a Historic Showdown

-


The excitement is palpable as the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) final approaches on October 30, 2024. Keta SHTS (Ketasco), Mfantsipim School (Botwe), and St. Augustine’s College (Augusco) will compete for supremacy in a match that features a notable twist: for the first time since 2015, none of last year’s finalists are returning to defend their titles. This shift highlights a new wave of contenders who are redefining strategies and stepping up their preparation.


The Formula for NSMQ Success: Strategic Excellence

A deep dive into NSMQ history reveals that strategic planning and investment in training have set certain schools apart. For instance, Adisadel College (Adisco), once a regular in the quarterfinals during the 1990s and 2000s, surprised fans with an extraordinary performance from 2015 to 2018, achieving four consecutive final appearances, though they secured only one championship. Their journey reflects how focused strategies can elevate a school’s standing in the NSMQ hierarchy.

Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (Presec-Legon) is another example. A dominant force in the 1990s and 2000s, Presec won five times in six finals between 1995 and 2009. However, after the NSMQ's format change in 2013, they faced challenges and didn’t regain their winning form until 2019. In the last five years, they have made an impressive five consecutive final appearances, winning three championships. Their recent narrow semi-final defeat via tiebreaker only underscores their continued excellence, hinting at a strong comeback in 2025.


Can History Be Rewritten?

Each finalist this year has a unique NSMQ history. Ketasco, the newest finalist among the trio, last reached the final in 2021 and comes in with fresh momentum. St. Augustine’s College, a two-time champion, last competed in the finals in 2019, where they secured their second title, adding to their 2007 victory. Mfantsipim School, a consistent competitor, hasn’t reached the final since their 2014 win.

Augusco’s track record stands out with a perfect 100% success rate, having won both of their final appearances, while Mfantsipim has two championships from three finals (1999, 2000, and 2014). This storied reputation adds depth to the competition, and Ketasco’s determination introduces an exciting unpredictability. Will Augusco’s unbroken winning streak continue, or can Ketasco turn their second final appearance into a triumph?

Fans across Ghana are eagerly awaiting a finale that promises a thrilling blend of history, strategy, and fierce intellectual rivalry.

THE PEOPLE OF KUSAUG STAND UNITED AGAINST DIVISIVE RHETORIC AND DECEPTION

Recent remarks made by Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo, running mate to Alhaji Mahamud Bawumia, represent a clear and dangerous attempt to sow discord within Kusaug. In a viral video, Napo falsely accuses H.E. John Dramani Mahama of plotting to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people, along with other tribes, should he return to office. These baseless claims are not only deceptive and irresponsible, but they also have the potential to inflame tensions and destabilize the peace we are striving to maintain in the area. Such reckless rhetoric must be unequivocally condemned. The people of Kusaug have closely followed the commitments of various political leaders regarding our area’s future. At no point has John Dramani Mahama ever sought to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people. During his visit to the Zugraan Bawku Naaba’s palace, Mahama responded to a request by the chiefs and people of Kusaug by highlighting the potential creation of a Kusaug Region. He described it as a via
