Luv FM has officially launched the seventh edition of its Primary Schools Quiz in Kumasi, marking the beginning of a highly anticipated academic competition in the Ashanti Region. Featuring 36 participating schools, including the defending champions Matta Devi School, the 2026 edition promises to be a vibrant display of intellect and cultural awareness. The competition, which has become a staple in the regional educational calendar, seeks to foster a spirit of healthy rivalry and excellence among young learners while providing a platform for students to showcase their academic prowess on a national stage.
During the official launch and balloting ceremony held on February 20, 2026, organizers and stakeholders set the stage for a six-week intellectual journey. A unique focus of this year's competition is the strong emphasis on cultural literacy; speakers at the event urged participants to deeply engage with Ghanaian heritage and specifically the Akan culture. Educators and community leaders highlighted that the quiz is designed to be more than a traditional test of knowledge, serving instead as a holistic tool to instill national pride and a deeper appreciation for local traditions in the next generation of Ghanaian leaders.
With the balloting now complete, the contesting schools have identified their initial opponents, intensifying preparations across the Ashanti Region. The competition is scheduled to be broadcast live across various platforms starting February 23, 2026, allowing parents, teachers, and the general public to follow the progress of the young scholars. As the six-week tournament unfolds, it is expected to not only highlight academic brilliance but also reinforce the importance of cultural identity in the modern educational landscape of Ghana.
