Historical Background

National Energy Quiz (NEQ) in Ghana

  • Since 2018, AGREE Ltd. has been organizing the National Energy Quiz (NEQ) in Ghana to raise awareness about energy-related issues and promote sustainable practices.
  • The first edition of NEQ in 2018 involved 5 schools from the eastern region: Pope John Senior High School, Koforidua Secondary Technical School, Koforidua Technical School, Oti Boateng Senior High, and Ghana Secondary Senior High School, Koforidua.
  • Koforidua Secondary Technical School emerged as the winner, with Pope John and Oti Boateng securing second and third places respectively.
  • The competition continued to grow, with the 2019 edition seeing participation from 96 schools across the Eastern Region.

Purpose of the NEQ and Think Energy Initiatives

  • The NEQ aims to influence behavioral attitudes towards energy-related issues among schools in Africa and contribute to the future training of energy studies in Ghana and Africa.
  • The Think Energy initiatives, including the NEQ and Think Energy SDG Awards, collectively seek to promote sustainable energy practices, encourage innovation, and recognize outstanding contributions toward achieving sustainable development goals.
