The National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) has been adjudicated the ‘TV Programme of the Year 2017’ at the just ended The Chartered Institute of Marketing, Ghana (CIMG) Awards.

The event came off at the International Conference Centre (AICC), on 28th September, in Accra.

NSMQ has over the years fomented the flames of healthy rivalry between second cycle institutions, while promoting the study and appreciation of mathematics and science in especially senior high schools.

The quiz has often highlighted key strengths of students from not too popular schools, whose performances impact the competition in only positive ways, even if they do not win.

The quiz mistress, Dr. Elsie Kaufmann, has held her position since 2005 having taken over from Dr. Eureka Emefa Adomako
