Arla Foods Ghana Limited, producers of Dano Milk, has presented an award to Assin State College for making substantial progress in the 2022 National Science and Math Quiz (NSMQ).
The award, dubbed “Inner Strength”, comes with GH₵7,000 worth of Dano products and a plaque.
A scholarship fund of GH₵10,000 is also to be presented to Stephen Nyamekye, who represented the college at the NSMQ.
The Dano Inner Strength Award initiative has been instituted to honour the courage and resilience of one less endowed school that makes it to at least the “money zone” of the NSMQ competition.
Presenting the award, the General Manager of Arla, Vytautas Petronis, said: “At Dano, we want to give the chance to all the children across Ghana to have access to good and affordable nutrition that our Dano Milk provides”.
The Headmaster of the school, Ohene Nyarko, commended Arla Foods for the presentation to the school.
He said Assin State College’s journey in the NSMQ competition started in 2017, but the school, for two consecutive years, got eliminated in the one-eighth stage.
However, in 2022, the school made massive progress by getting to the quarter-finals stage as a result of hard work by both students and teachers.
He outlined the challenges of the school, and added that with the provision of adequate infrastructure and resources, Assin State College would achieve greater laurels.
