Five-time champions of the National Science & Maths Quiz (NSMQ) Prempeh College have served notice of referring their protest to international institutions and experts to have them reinstated in this year’s competition.
The Ashanti region school, which came second in last year’s final, also wants an independent consultant to be engaged to bring finality to their grievance after exiting the semi-final on Thursday, October 19.
“We are resolute in our minds that our answer is correct, and we will take all available steps and means including legal, if necessary, to ensure that Prempeh College and its consultants are given a fair hearing,” a reply to Primetime Productions, organisers of the annual competition said.
The letter, written by Prempeh College’s NSMQ Coordinator, P.B Damoah, on Tuesday, October 24, was in reply to the response given by the organisers when the school protested their exit from the competition.
Amanfoɔ, as students of the all-boys’ school are popularly called, exited the 2023 edition after amassing 36 points, losing the final slot to city rivals Opoku Ware School by just 2 points. Pope John’s Boys’ Senior High and Seminary, with 36 points, were also in that 2nd semi-final contest.
