ABOUT THE NSMQ

The National Science & Maths Quiz is the longest-running independent production on television in Ghana.

Our Story

How it all begun

The idea for the production of a quiz programme aimed at encouraging the study of the sciences and mathematics was not mooted at a national science fair or conference. It all happened on the tennis court of the University of Ghana, Legon.

Champions Over the Years

Since its inception in 1993, only 11 schools have managed to clinch the NSMQ Trophy, making it one of the most prestigious and difficult titles to claim in Ghana.

Past Winners

WHO WE ARE

The programme is very popular with not only its main target group – Senior High School students – but also with parents and, especially, with former students (old boys and girls), who take great pride in the performance of their schools on this programme.
