Vivo
Energy Ghana Limited has presented bursary awards to the winners of the Vivo
Energy Bonanza School Challenge.
The
competition was designed as an entertaining way to promote the learning of
mathematics among students in classes through the Bonanza Card game.
It
was organised by Daffodils Games and Publishing Limited with a sponsorship
package coming from the Vivo Energy Ghana. Vivo Energy Ghana financed the
bursaries.
The
teams that won first place in their classes were presented with a bursary of
GHc400, stationery and Daffodils Game Products, while those who won second
place were presented with a bursary of GHc300, stationery and Daffodils Game
Products.
The
prize winners were from basic schools in the Greater Accra region. They include
Mamprobi Sempe JHS, Bishop Mixed Junior High, Kwashieman 1 Basic, Accra Sempe 1,
Salvation Army ‘B’, Bishop Girls’, and Odorkor 1 Junior High School.
The
other schools that participated were Amugi Boundary Road, Kwashieman 2 Basic
and Salvation Army ‘A’.
Mrs
Shirley Tony Kum, Corporate Communications Manager for Vivo Energy Ghana said her
outfit plan to eventually roll the project to other basic schools across the
country. “The project is a new-found love for mathematics among pupils and we
are proud to have sponsored it,” she added. She stated that the Bonanza School
Challenge is been run at a pilot basis.
Madam
Elizabeth Chocho Kasim, Headmistress of Mamprobi Sempe 5, one of the participating
schools said “gone are the days where pupils run away from class because the
maths teacher would have a mental drill in the morning. The teachers have now
adopted the game as morning ‘tea’ for the pupils, who find it both fun but also
educative.,”
According
to the Human Resource and Administrative Manager of Daffodils Games and
Publishing Limited, Mrs Marlene Tonyigah the mathematics is often thought of as
a difficult subject, so the competition was meant to encourage basic schools to
approach mathematics with fun and a positive attitude.
