''End of Contest; Pope John SHS & Minor Seminary: 34 pts. Abuakwa State College: 32 pts. St. Peter's SHS: 17pts POJOSS have done it! Fair play to ABUSCO for an exciting contest," the @NSMQGhana posted along with images of the winning team.

Speaking to YEN.com.gh about how the NSMQ promotes the study of the sciences and mathematics in Ghana, a former headmaster of T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School, Kumasi, Ibrahim Kwaku Gyasi, said:

''The NSMQ is helpful, but just because a few students have won the NSMQ competition in a particular school, it makes teaching science and mathematics easy.
''There are different ways of ensuring that the study of science and mathematics takes place in Ghana; therefore, we should not rely exclusively on the NSMQ though it urges participation. It is useful but we should consider different ways,'' he told YEN.com.gh.
