The Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North in the Eastern Region, Nana Ampaw Kwame Addo-Frempong, has rewarded three senior high schools with laptops and cash in recognition of their performance in the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ).

The beneficiary schools are Bright Senior High School, Saviour Senior High School and Ofori Panin Senior High School, which reached the semi-final and quarter-final stages of the national competition.

The support is aimed at encouraging the schools to sustain their efforts in the competition and motivating students to develop a stronger interest in Science and Mathematics.

The MP also announced scholarship opportunities for students pursuing medical education, as part of efforts to support academic excellence and encourage more young people to pursue careers in medicine and science-related fields.

The initiative is expected to provide additional support to students and encourage them to work towards higher academic achievement.

Meanwhile, the Abuakwa North Municipal Director of Education, Grace Adza-Wude, urged students to prioritise Science and Mathematics, saying the subjects are essential to addressing Ghana’s challenges and driving national development.

She called on teachers, parents and other education stakeholders to encourage students to take the subjects seriously and develop the knowledge and skills needed to find solutions to problems facing the country.
