Contestants from Keta Senior High Technical School (SHTS) in the just-ended 2024 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) are pleading with the general public and benevolent individuals for financial support in their academic pursuits.
During their appearance on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show, the students appealed for laptops, scholarships, and other academic materials to help them pursue and achieve their ambitions.
“With the courses we want to pursue, it would be very beneficial for us to study them outside Ghana. So, we need support with school applications, the exams we will need to take, and also scholarship opportunities because we won’t be able to afford that on our own,” Frederick Adjavor-Sowalo pleaded.
Clinton Edem Adorsoo echoed Frederick’s plea, saying, “We’re appealing for laptops. We don’t have any. If anyone could help us with laptops, we would be grateful.”
They shared how they have performed excellently at the NSMQ despite lacking major teaching and learning materials, expressing that they would do even better when provided with the necessary resources.
Not only are they appealing to the public for themselves, but also for their colleagues at school.
“We’re short of a few resources that we need to keep pushing towards the ultimate trophy. So, we’re hoping that the support from out there will extend to our team, like laptops; we need buses to travel for trials and other events, and also another room for us because we have a very small training room,” Perpetual Sefakor Gakpetor also pleaded.
All four contestants have graduated and are optimistic about their excellent results.
They aim to pursue Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Medicine at both Ghanaian and international universities.
