He assured, “the ARSRC continues to undergo a series of metamorphosis to facilitate the endeavours of the Ashanti Regional student body with the aim of widening the scope of knowledge and the capacity of intelligence in order for students to appreciate not just classroom work but to give a fair deal of advancement in knowledge on matters surrounding us, the society we live, the very technologies we use and the people that rule us.”

He further called on all stakeholders and potential sponsors to come on board to support the Social Science and Arts biased quiz to assume a national Appeal just as is witnessed at the National Maths and Science Quiz.

The Ashanti Region coordinator of the SRC Raphael Sakodie challenged the students to be wide read as several of the students found it tough relating to general knowledge and questions relating to politics and current affairs.

Business Manager of Ultimate Fm Edmond Patrick Asamoah noted that the Quiz was picked up by the Excellece In Broadcasting (EIB) Network radars because it resonates with the ideals of the station to identify with projects that have bearing with developing and making an impact in society.

The 24 schools are expected to battle it out into the top 16 and progress to pitch their places in the final four where the ultimate Winner for the Ultimate FM SRC SHS quiz will be decided.

The quiz assesses students on Syntaxes in the English Language, social studies; general knowledge; current affairs and audio visuals of prominent events, places and public figures.
