I remember last year when the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) was almost getting to it final stages as I witness it live at the GNAT Hall in Accra.
Sitting close to me was one guy praying to see his school seed for the NSMQ 2021 so they could skip two mage stages in after beating their regional rivals.
However, a seeded school in the NSMQ contest, simply any Senior High School that qualifies from the one-eight stage into the quarterfinals of the competition.
This means that all winners of the one-eight stage automatically qualify as seeded schools for the next year.
Schools like PRESEC Legon, Mfantsipim, Mawuli, St. Thomas Aquinas, WASS, Wesley Girls (Central), etc. have maintained their seeded slots at least for the past two contests.
In the new list by NSMQ Ghana, the organizers of the quiz have name 27 schools as seede for the NSMQ 2021 and below are they;
