The 2025 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) continues today, Monday, October 27, with a highly anticipated One-Eighth Stage contest featuring Pope John SHS and Minor Seminary, Ghana SHS, Tamale, and Awudome SHS.
The three schools are set to face off in what promises to be an electrifying battle of intellect and speed as they compete for a place in the quarterfinals of Ghana’s most prestigious academic competition.
The One-Eighth Stage, which began on Sunday, October 26, marks the start of the knockout phase of the 2025 championship. A total of 81 senior high schools from across the country advanced to this stage after an intense preliminary round that saw 174 schools competing from October 20 to 24, 2025.
Today’s contests will also feature powerhouse schools, including Aburi Presby SHS, Osei Tutu SHS, St. James Seminary SHS, Swedru SHS, Mpraeso SHS, Wesley Girls’ High School, St. John’s School, and St. Augustine’s College.
Sunday’s opening clashes saw top schools such as Ghana National College, Adonten SHS, Tamale SHS, Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS), Bishop Herman College, and reigning champions Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC, Legon) thrill audiences with their scientific prowess.
The final day of the One-Eighth Stage, Tuesday, October 28, will feature schools including St. Peter’s SHS, Ghana SHS (Koforidua), Mawuli School, Apam SHS, Accra Academy, Opoku Ware School, Achimota School, Koforidua Secondary Technical School, and Keta SHTS, all vying for spots in the quarterfinals.
Organised by Primetime Limited in partnership with the Ghana Education Service and sponsored by GOIL, the NSMQ continues to inspire academic excellence, teamwork, and healthy rivalry among Ghana’s senior high schools.
As the competition heats up, all eyes are on Pope John SHS as they go head-to-head with Ghana SHS, Tamale, and Awudome SHS in what many are calling one of the most evenly matched contests of the One-Eighth Stage.
