Anlo SHS, Kumasi High walk off stage
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a protest over a contested answer threw the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz into disarray on August 26, 2026, after two schools abandoned the competition before the final round could be completed.
The closing contest of the day in the one-eighth stage brought together St Augustine's College, known popularly as Augustco, Anlo Senior High School and Kumasi High School.
Tension reportedly began when Augustco objected to a particular answer during one of the contest rounds, requesting that the point in question be awarded to their team. Reports circulating online indicated that rather than resolving matters quietly, the dispute escalated into a broader confrontation involving teachers and students from the three schools.
