Accra, Ghana//-Registration is underway for the fourth (4th) edition of Inter-School Reading Quiz (ISRQ) which has been launched in Accra on Wednesday 25, September 2024.
The quiz themed-‘Literacy for all; Inclusivity in Action’ is aimed to empower all readers, enhancing literacy for life.
The launch of the ISRQ 2025 being the 4th attracted over a hundred guests, including previous participants, winners, funding patrons, the traditional authorities, government agencies, and literacy-friendly organizations from Ghana and Africa.
The ISRQ 2025 organized by Perbi Cubs aims to foster a love for reading and improve literacy skills among children between the ages of six and 14 in schools in Ghana. This 2025 edition has already seen massive registration from various regions of Ghana.
In a speech read for the CEO of Perbi Cubs, Mrs Anyele Perbi at the launch by Perbi Cubs’ head of marketing and communications, Madam Veronica Ofosuhemaa Owusu Ansah said the fourth edition is special due to its inclusive nature.
This is because it is welcoming visually impaired learners and hearing-impaired learners, she explained.
Mrs Perbi expressed Perbi Cubs’ commitment to overcoming Africa’s learning poverty through digital library services, Success Club, Funtastika, Child Development, ISRQ, among others.
She used the occasion to encourage learners to love reading to enable them to build their vocabulary and literary knowledge across different subjects and genres.
After the year-long competitive contest, a winning school would emerge, followed by the runner-up and second runner-up schools. The winning team will receive an exciting international trip, while the runners-up will receive prizes and recognition, according to her.
Mrs Perbi expressed gratitude to partners, schools, and students for their dedication to the competition and concluded that as the ISRQ 2025 began, Perbi Cubs looks forward to more excitement, innovation, and celebration of reading excellence.
Esteemed guests from CENDLOS, Mastercard Foundation, and UNESCO also stressed the importance of reading in shaping Ghana’s youth.
