MANNA INTERNATIONAL emerged winners of the 2023 edition of NJC at the finals against Bishop Bowers School, Mary Mother of Good Counsel Sch. and Garrison Basic School held on Friday October 20, 2023.

Manna International School, Kumasi, winners of the 2021 edition of the National Juniors Challenge (NJC), have paid a courtesy call on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi. At the Manhyia Palace, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II congratulated the contestants and teachers for the maximum effort they have put into winning the contest.

He was highly pleased with Uniwiz Foundation for coming up with this great initiative to promote basic education in the country. Otumfuo assured the founder of Uniwiz Foundation, Mr Wisdom Larry Quarme Doe, to look forward to future collaborations with the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Foundation (OTIIF) since they share similar ideals. He, therefore, encouraged all Junior High Schools in the country to participate in the quiz. The National Juniors Challenge (NJC), is a competition on Socia Studies, English Language, Mathematics, and science.

The contest which is organised by Uniwiz Foundation is to enable Junior High School students to become critical thinkers as well as help them to broaden their worldview. Last year, 91 schools participated in the preliminary stage of the competition, and 36 schools qualified for the regional level and competed for the finals.
