NSMQ star congratulated after KNUST admission
Social media users who took to the comments section of the post congratulated Kwame Boakye Owusu on his admission to KNUST.
Naa Adjorkor Tetteh commented:
“How about the Abugiss contestants?”
Concepts Builder reacted:
“That’s why we need to understand that technical programmes aren’t for the weak, contrary to common perception in Ghana. Many TVET schools offer Electrical Engineering, and you can see the aggregate used for BECE to pursue it. How can one proceed to university after that?”
Alex Tony-Aidoo opined:
“This year’s Electrical Engineering class of 2025 is something else to watch out for. It’s interesting to know most of the top NSMQ students are there.”
James Pacdaniels Anokye added:
“Almost all the finalists in the Science and Maths Quiz competition are in KNUST. How?”
