THE Upper West Students Union at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has organised a quiz competition for some selected senior high schools (SHS) in the region.
In all, five schools, namely Nandom St. Francis Girls, Lassia Tuolu, Wa, and Queen of Peace SHS, participated in the competition.
The schools were quizzed in both Arts and Science. In the Arts category, the Wa SHS emerged winners, followed by Nandom St Francis Girls and Queen of Peace SHS respectively.
For the Science category, Nandom St Francis carried the day, while Queen of Peace placed second with Lassia Tuolu taking the third position.
Awards, ranging from books, pens, caps and wall clocks, were presented to the winners and the participating schools.
Addressing the participants after the competition, the branch secretary of the association, Mr Abraham Iddrisu, said the essence of the competition was not only to give awards, but also to encourage students to take their studies seriously.
“This is an opportunity for you to test your mental strength and give an indication that you are ready for tertiary education,” he added.
Mr Iddrisu advised the students to take their studies seriously and never involve themselves in any act of mischief.
The Patron of the association, Reverend Dr Nathan Samwini, congratulated the organisers of the competition, and urged them to organise more of such activities.
