Nkwanta South Assembly prioritises education with unity English Quiz
Nkwanta South Assembly prioritised education by sponsoring the Unity English Quiz, organised by the Nkwanta South Education Directorate. The competition was for Junior High School students to strengthen reading culture and improve academic standards. The quiz was under the leadership of Municipal Chief Executive Joseph Awal Antwi, with support from the Member of Parliament, Geoffrey Kini.
The initiative is part of efforts to address declining academic performance, particularly at the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) level. Schools that qualified for the final stage included Nkwanta Kyabobo Girls JHS, Nkwanta St. Theresa's JHS, Emmanuel Preparatory School, Nkwanta M/A JHS "A," and Adom Model School. Nkwanta M/A JHS "A" emerged as overall winners with 64 points. Adom Model JHS placed second, while Emmanuel Preparatory School took third place. Geoffrey Kini said the quiz is a timely intervention, noting that recurring conflict has disrupted learning and affected academic performance as well as economic activity. He added that supporting schools with basic needs and academic programmes can help restore momentum in education, and that education remains one of his key priorities. Joseph Awal Antwi reaffirmed the Assembly's commitment to improving educational infrastructure and sustaining academic programmes.
Joseph Awal Antwi described the Unity English Quiz as an ongoing municipal initiative aimed at reversing the decline in BECE results in recent years, adding that more education-focused activities will be rolled out to encourage both learners and educators, even amid current challenges.
