"The girls schools may perform better if they meet a male quiz master. It appears that male schools are more comfortable with female mistresses. Naturally, female children are more comfortable with their Dads, and the males are more comfortable with the Moms.

"This phenomenon plays out in the quiz too. The consistent gender bias of the quiz moderators may account for the poor performance of the girls.

Netizens stunned by comments of Presec boy

Some old students of Presec who watched the video were stunned by the decision of the Presec NSMQ stars to choose Wesley Girls over Aburi Girls.
