Girls' schools may perform better with a male quiz master
An educationist, Mr Daniel Fenyi, in an interview with YEN.com.gh on the NSMQ advocated for the competition to have quiz masters.
" The girl schools may perform better if they meet a male quiz master. It appears the male schools are more comfortable with the 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."
