YFM, the biggest youth oriented station in Ghana, has used it’s huge platform to support the growth of science and maths in the country. Providing an opportunity for the brightest minds in Senior High Schools (SHS) battle it out to showcase their excellence in science and Mathematics.
The National Science and Maths Quiz is an annual science and mathematics content-based national level quiz competition for senior high schools in Ghana. It has been produced by Primetime Limited,since 1993.

The final showdown came off at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in the Ashanti Regional capital, Kumasi.

Speaking about the partnership, Osei Kufour head of the Y Triangle, noted that,

“NSMQ has over the years contributed to the growth of Maths and science in the country, hence deserves YFM’s support.
Many people see maths and science as very difficult subjects but the NSMQ is making it very attractive for more students to pursue science. Science as a discipline is very important, because Science gives deep attention to the quality and interaction of the things that surround us”.

He also mentioned that one of his favorite part of this year is having a young girl make it to the final stage of the competition. ” You know how society sees science as predominantly a male dominated field, Francisca Lamisi proved that girls can pursue science, and her feat will encourage other young girls to pursue science and Maths, that is a good thing.

YFM reaches the highest number of young people in the country on a daily basis. With our huge listenership on the YFM Triangle of Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi, our numbers on our social media, our website and to top it all our young vibrant presenters and DJ’s. We came on board with all these assets” he stated.
