Contestants of Keta Senior High Technical School in the just-ended 2024 National Science and Maths quiz 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 do, it will be very good for us to do them outside Ghana. So, we need support with school applications, the exams we will need to take, and also the scholarship opportunities because we won’t be able to afford that one too,” Frederick Adjavor-Sowalo pleaded.
Clinton Edem Adorsoo echoed Frederick's plea, saying, "We're appealing for laptops. We don’t have some. If anyone could help us with laptops, we would be grateful.”
They shared how they have been able to perform excellently at the NSMQ even though they do not have access to major teaching and learning materials, expressing that they will do exceedingly well when provided with the needed materials.
Not only are they appealing to the public for themselves, but to their colleagues in school.
“We’re short of a few resources that we need to keep pushing us to 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 stuff like that, 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 excellent results. They aim to pursue Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Medicine at Ghanaian and international universities.
