The Literacy Challenge: Top 50 students to write aptitude test on August 13

The second stage of Citi FM’s educational program, ‘The Literacy Challenge,’ comes off on Saturday, August 12, 2022, at the Accra Digital Centre.

The second stage is a written General Knowledge Aptitude Test for the top 50 participants, whose essays were vetted and selected.

The top 50 entrants for this stage were announced on August 8, 2022.

The top 10 participants in the aptitude test will advance to the final stage of the contest.

By making it to the final, the top 10 contestants will compete in a classic quiz competition for the grand prize of GH¢10,000.

For the 2022 edition, interested participants were to submit an essay on the topic, “You have been appointed as an advisor to the Minister of Communications and Digitalization. In not less than 600 words, you are required to write to the Minister, advising on how Ghana can deploy technology for poverty reduction and national development.”

Over 1000 entries were received by the deadline for submission, and external examiners assessed the scripts for the selection of the best 50 participants.

For more than two months, a team from Citi FM toured various schools as part of the effort to interact with students in some parts of the country, to encourage them to participate in the 2022 edition of the Challenge.
