“For us at St. Peter’s, we have recognized Persco itself has become a brand, and the national science and maths quiz is one of the platforms that is taking this great school national and international, so we thought it wise to set up a place like that so that the students can have proper concentration and win it again. We make sure that we have the infrastructure for them to have focus, we have gotten a platform of computers where they can do proper research into the program itself”.
“Gone were the days when it was more theory, but these days when they see these things graphically it helps them in terms of the memory and we are sure it’s going to be a beneficial outfit to help them to win this time.”
“We are very connected to them and they have gotten a science teacher who is really responsible, so we get most of the information through that woman. Our connection with them is very key and we think that relationship is very important because it will boost their morale and confidence which will help them to win this year”.
On his part, the Headmaster of the school, Kwame Owusu Aduonu, promised that the students will do everything possible to win the next competition.
