Galaxy International School Students Represent Ghana at Global Owlypia Academic Challenge in London

A 52-member delegation from Ghana’s Galaxy International School has departed for London to represent the nation at the prestigious 2026 Owlypia International Competition. The team, which includes students, faculty members, and parents, is participating in the week-long academic challenge hosted at the University of Westminster from June 14 to June 20, 2026. This international journey follows a series of rigorous qualifying rounds where the students demonstrated the intellectual depth and practical skills necessary to compete on a global stage.

Owlypia is a renowned international platform designed for youth aged 9 to 18, with a core focus on interdisciplinary assessment and the cultivation of soft skills. The Ghanaian delegation will compete across diverse fields including Science, Literature, Social Sciences, Art, and Economics. Unlike traditional examinations, the competition emphasizes practical problem-solving, public speaking, and collaborative team challenges. These activities are designed to foster critical thinking and leadership, encouraging students to apply their classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios.

Leading the delegation, Principal Mr. Jasur Domullojonov expressed high optimism for the team’s performance and underscored the significance of the school's participation. He noted that the opportunity reflects Galaxy International School’s commitment to providing a holistic education that prepares students for global competitiveness. Mr. Domullojonov urged the students to act as ambassadors for Ghana, showcasing the country’s academic talent while engaging in valuable cultural exchanges with peers from around the world.

The departure of the delegation has been met with significant support and encouragement from the Ghanaian community, who view the students' participation as a benchmark for the country's educational quality. Beyond the competition itself, the experience is expected to provide participants with lasting skills in teamwork and international networking. As the competition progresses at the University of Westminster, the team aims to return with honors that further cement Ghana's reputation for excellence in international youth academic competitions.
