Jason Antwi-Agyei has achieved a historic milestone in Ghanaian academic competition by winning the National Science and Mathematics Quiz (NSMQ) for the second time. The student, representing KNUST Basic School and PRESEC Legon, secured victory in the 2026 edition of the event, making him the first Ghanaian to win both the Junior Science and Mathematics Quiz (JSMQ) and the NSMQ.
This accomplishment highlights Antwi-Agyei’s exceptional talent in science and mathematics. His success in the JSMQ earlier this year was already a notable achievement, but winning the NSMQ—a more challenging competition—demonstrates his continued excellence. The NSMQ is known for its rigorous format, testing participants on a wide range of scientific and mathematical concepts.
Antwi-Agyei’s win has sparked celebration among educators and students across Ghana. His achievement serves as an inspiration to young learners, showing that dedication and hard work can lead to national recognition. The result also underscores the growing strength of Ghana’s academic competitions in fostering scientific talent.
The victory marks a significant moment for PRESEC Legon, a team known for its strong performance in national academic events. Antwi-Agyei’s success continues to build momentum for Ghana’s educational and scientific community.
