Nifa Senior High School has ended Okuapemman School’s four-year streak of qualifying for the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) National Championship after emerging winners of the Eastern Regional qualifiers. Nifa secured the region’s automatic qualification slot after finishing the contest with 55 points, ahead of Akwamuman Senior High School, which placed second with 48 points. The result brings an end to Okuapemman’s run of consecutive appearances at the NSMQ National Championship, which stretched from 2022 to 2025. However, its failure to progress from this year’s regional contest means the school will miss the national championship for the first time since 2021.
