Citi FM has released the list of the top 50 JHS students, who have made it to the next stage of The Literacy Challenge.<\/p>\n

This will set the stage for the final level (Level III) of the competition, where the eventual winner wins Ghc10,000. The fifty students are mostly from schools in the Greater Accra Region, and other parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Come Saturday, October 21, 2017, each of the top fifty contestants will receive a cash prize of Ghc500, a certificate of participation, and a medal, at the British Council in Accra.<\/p>\n

Citi FM launched the nationwide competition on Wednesday July 19, dubbed \u201cThe Literacy Challenge\u201d, which seeks to promote and to reward the versatility and intelligence of Ghana\u2019s Junior High School (JHS) students.<\/p>\n

The Literacy Challenge also seeks to engage contestants in a three-month long, fun-packed, and education-driven set of activities, which will propel young Ghanaians to develop literacy skills beyond just reading and writing.<\/p>\n

For this competition, contestants wrote an essay on the topic, \u201cWrite a letter to the President of Ghana, suggesting to him how to make Accra the cleanest city in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n

The challenge is aimed at celebrating the various talents and skills of Ghana\u2019s JHS students, while encouraging Ghanaians to do even more for Literacy in Ghana.<\/p>\n

About the Literacy Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Literacy Challenge is aimed at recognising and rewarding the efforts of the overall best JHS student, in Ghana.<\/p>\n

There are three different levels of the competition. At the first level, participants took part in the essay competition.<\/p>\n

At level two, the fifty participants who have been selected will be required to take an Aptitude Test at the British Council in Accra. The number will then further be reduced to ten, for a quiz competition at the third level.<\/p>\n

The Literacy Challenge is sponsored by Bic Pen, SlydePay, Cowbell and Milky Magic biscuits.<\/p>\n

The final event, scheduled for October 28, 2017, will take place at the Swiss Spirit Hotel & Suites Alisa in Accra.<\/p>\n
