Accra, Ghana — The competition for places at the NSMQ 2026 National Championship continues in the Greater Accra Region as nine senior high schools prepare for Day 2 of the regional qualifiers on Friday, July 31, 2026.
Following the opening contests on July 30, which produced three qualifiers, another three schools will emerge from the second day of competition to complete Greater Accra’s six representatives for the National Championship.
The qualifiers are organised by Primetime Limited with support from the Ghana Education Service (GES), Joy News and GOIL.
The day’s contests feature schools with different academic backgrounds, including the highly successful Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School, Osu (PRESEC Osu), which enters Contest 5 with a strong national reputation.

Contest 4: Fafraha Community SHS, Ada SHS and Ebenezer SHS Battle for First Slot
The opening contest of Day 2 will feature three schools seeking the first qualification ticket of the day.
Contest 4 Schools
- Fafraha Community SHS
- Ada SHS
- Ebenezer SHS
The three schools will compete across mathematics and science-based questions, testing their knowledge, speed and teamwork.
With only one qualification slot available, every correct response will be important as the teams attempt to secure a place at the National Championship.
Contest 5: PRESEC Osu Returns to the NSMQ Stage
Contest 5 is expected to attract significant attention because it features one of Ghana’s most successful NSMQ schools.
Contest 5 Schools
- O’Reilly SHS
- Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School, Osu (PRESEC Osu)
- Tema Methodist Day SHS
PRESEC Osu enters the contest with a remarkable NSMQ record, having won the national competition seven times.
The school’s history of success has made it one of the most recognised names in Ghana’s academic competition landscape. However, regional qualifiers often produce unexpected results, and every contestant must perform under pressure to secure progression.
O’Reilly SHS and Tema Methodist Day SHS will be aiming to challenge the traditional powerhouse and earn their place at the national stage.
This contest is expected to be one of the most closely followed fixtures of the Greater Accra qualifiers.
Contest 6: Accra High School, Kinbu SHTS and Prampram SHS Compete
The final contest of Day 2 brings together three schools determined to claim the last qualification slot.
Contest 6 Schools
- Accra High School
- Kinbu SHTS
- Prampram SHS
Each school will need strong preparation and accuracy across all rounds to overcome the competition.
The outcome will complete the list of six Greater Accra schools that will represent the region at the NSMQ 2026 National Championship.
