How the Contest works in Ghana
1
Schools register
Schools in Ghana register through the national representative. Registrations are submitted by schools — parents should speak to their school's teacher, coordinator or principal.
2
Students write locally
The contest is written at the student's own school. Ghana runs its own day inside the January 4 – April 5, 2027 contest window — your school confirms the exact date. Multiple choice, one mark per correct answer, no marks off for wrong answers — and no calculators.
