The Ho Dome Circuit in the Ho Municipality emerged winners when it beat Avatime “B” Circuit by 98 points to 78 in the final of the maiden Science and Mathematics Quiz held in Ho in the Volta Region last Thursday.
The quiz was sponsored by some individuals and institutions and organised by the Ho Municipal Education Office. It attracted 22 circuits and involved 66 students in the preliminaries, with three students representing each circuit.
The Ho Dome Circuit, which was represented by an all-girl team, overrun the Sokode, Takla, Ho-Housing and Kpedze circuits.
For their prizes, each circuit received a certificate, cash, science and mathematics books. In addition, the Ho Dome Circuit took away three trophies instituted in memory of Togbe Pii Bansah, the late Chief of Ahoe, a suburb of Ho.
In her closing address, the Guest of Honour, Ms Rosemond Keteku, a former Ho Municipal Director of Education and now the Adenta Municipal Director of Education, said the achievement of the girls should rekindle girls’ interest in the pursuit of science and maths.
She said it was also a credit to the Science, Technology and Mathematics Education (STME) Clinics which had been held for girls and was recently widened to include boys.
The Ho Municipal Director of Education, Mr Emmanuel Ketteku, said apart from whipping up interest in the two subjects, the quiz would also be a unifying force among the students in the municipality.
