In 2011 they couldn’t host this event because of issues with financing.
2023, it’s easily the biggest national event and graced by the president (possibly starting a tradition of the president gracing the finals?)

I see the quotes about Addo D being the "problem of the day", and it's all fun until you recall that he's also the reason some of them got to represent their various schools. It's possible that those students would have been at the Galamsey sites or the cocoa farm right now. https://t.co/FbeXcttDXs

Three schools; Opoku Ware School, Presec Legon and Achomota School are heading to the finals to battle it out.
All three schools in the finale have been winners before; Presec, the current titleholders are hoping to secure their crown.
