Selinam Mortey, a participant from PRESEC in the 2023 National Science and Mathematics Quiz (NSMQ), successfully won the competition for his team and lived up to a promise he had made during high school.
His mother, Elizabeth Mortey, disclosed that Selinam’s elder sibling, Selassie Mortey, also competed for PRESEC in 2019 and was barely beaten to Augusco’s trophy by a mere 5 points.
During an interview, Elizabeth Mortey elaborated how a younger Selinam, then in JHS 2, determinedly predicted he would join PRESEC and win the contest, drawing inspiration from his defeated brother.

His phenomenal journey and persistence have earned his family pride and have given him a place as a role model for many young learners seeking to triumph in the NSMQ.
PRESEC grasped the championship with a commendable score of 40 points, surpassing Achimota School and Opoku Ware School who gained 28 and 23 points respectively.
