On Thursday, October 30, chaos erupted at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) during the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) quarterfinal contest involving Adisadel College, Prempeh College and Mfantsipim School.
The NSMQ quarterfinal between Adisadel, Prempeh and Mfantsipim drew huge crowds from the three competing schools.
The much-anticipated contest had to be postponed by the organisers, according to multiple reports, following violent disturbances.
According to reports, the violent disturbances allegedly involved some supporters of the various schools.
Radio Univers, on its official Facebook page, stated, “students are being assaulted as they attempt entry into the UCC auditorium for the NSMQ quarterfinal contest between Adisadel College, Prempeh College, and Mfantsipim School. The reasons for the assault are unknown.”
The information gathered suggests that inadequate security arrangements contributed to the confusion, leading to officials failing to control the large and agitated crowd.
Meanwhile, Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) produced one of its most dramatic moments yet at the 2025 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ).
The Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) staged a comeback to eliminate record holders and eight-time champions, Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC), Legon.
The contest also featured Our Lady of Grace SHS, but the GSTS claimed a sensational victory by a single point.
Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) ended the contest with 39 points, edging out PRESEC’s 38, while Our Lady of Grace finished with 28 points.
