a
contest,
the
National

(NSMQ)
honours
Ghanaian
students’
academic
prowess,
intellectual
curiosity,
and
collaborative
spirit.
Do
you

the

are
since

began
in

in

the
NSMQ
has
grown
to
be
an
essential
forum
for
advancing
science
and
maths
education
in
Ghana,
encouraging
a
great
number
of
students
to
seek
professions
in
these
key
subjects.
It
has
become
a
national
sensation
over
time,
winning
