The sponsor of the quiz, Lulu-Brigg, who proudly presented the awards to the winning schools, praised their academic achievements and encouraged all participants to continue pursuing knowledge.
“This is something meaningful the Education Champions League has done; it shows they understand the need to educate the next generation,” High Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs stated during the award ceremony.
He further noted, “Some of the books quizzed on spoke about value reorientation. Truly, as a people, we need value reorientation in each one of us. These young ones are teaching us. We must always allow the optimism of our will to trump the pessimism of our intellect.”
