Hubert’s Seminary Senior High School has staged a remarkable comeback to secure the fifth qualification slot from the Ashanti Regional Qualifiers to the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) national championship. The Santasi-based school found itself trailing Afua Kobi Ampem Girls’ Senior High School in the opening stages of the contest, but a strong response in the subsequent rounds saw St. Hubert’s regain control and pull away from its opponents.
Hubert’s maintained its momentum to finish the contest with 56 points, securing its place at the national championship. Afua Kobi Ampem Girls’ SHS placed second with 50 points, while Toase SHS ended the competition with 33 points. The victory marked a dramatic turnaround for St.
Hubert’s, which refused to be unsettled by its slow start and gradually built enough momentum to secure the crucial win. Hubert’s now joins the growing list of Ashanti Region representatives preparing for the national championship. For Toase SHS, the NSMQ journey continues as the school joins Ejisu Senior High Technical School in the third qualification contest.

At the end of the contest, the scores stood at: Edinaman SHS – 71 points Mando SHS – 22 points Nyankumase SHS – 21 points Eguafo Abrem SHS – 10 points The 71-point tally was the highest recorded by any school on the first day of the Central Regional Qualifiers, reinforcing Edinaman’s credentials as one of the region’s strongest contenders heading into the national championship.
