NSMQ 2023 Finals: Profiles of Schools in the Grand Finale
Achimota School, Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School, Legon, and Opoku Ware School are three schools with a well-established history in the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ)
It comes as no surprise that any of them are in the NSMQ grand finale. All three schools have already seen the trophy; Opoku Ware School and Achimota School each have two, while PRESEC, Legon, has seven in its cabinet.
It is anticipated that the forthcoming competition, which is scheduled for Monday, October 30, 2023, will have intense rounds of competition in a suspenseful repeat-or-revenge event.
Will Achimota School surprise everyone, or will PRESEC, Legon play Opoku Ware as usual? The only way to know is to wait.
