The Literacy Challenge seeks to promote and to reward the versatility and intelligence of Ghana’s Junior High School (JHS) students.
The quiz, moderated by educationist Madam Yaba Haffar, covered three main areas, namely literature, social studies or current affairs; general knowledge or applied knowledge.
The 2017 edition was a three-month long, fun-packed, and education-driven set of activities, aiming to propel young Ghanaians to develop literacy skills beyond just reading and writing.
The Literacy Challenge 2017 was sponsored by Databank’s Edifund and MoneyGram with support from CITI TV.
The journey so far
The journey began four months ago where JHS students in Ghana, were tasked to write on the selected topic; The year is 2035; the law allows people below forty (40) years to contest for the presidency. You are a presidential candidate in the general election. In not less than 600 words, write your manifesto speech.”
Over 2000 entries were received and the number shortlisted to 50.
The 50 took part in the aptitude test and the number further sieved to 10 who were brought to Accra for a two-day literacy camp ahead of the grand finale which came off today, Saturday, at the Swiss Spirit Hotel & Suites Alisa in Accra.
