What’s at Stake?

Only the winners of each contest will secure automatic qualification to the NSMQ 2025 national championship scheduled to begin in September. The Ashanti Region is one of the most competitive zones, often producing quarter-finalists and semi-finalists in the national stage.

In 2024, Prempeh College, a traditional Ashanti powerhouse, reached the semi-finals, and all eyes are on which schools will rise to represent the region this year.
