Team Ghana heads to London for Owlypia global competition

A 52-member delegation from Ghana's Galaxy International School has embarked on a journey to London to represent the nation at the global round of the Owlypia International Competition. The group, comprising students, parents, and faculty, departed from Accra's Kotoka International Airport over the weekend.

Hosted at the prestigious University of Westminster, the competition will gather students from around the world for a series of academic and leadership challenges. Principal Jasur Domullojonov explained that the students earned their spot in the global finals after excelling in both online qualifying stages and a local round held at the school.

Owlypia targets students aged nine to 18, aiming to foster academic excellence, critical thinking, and problem-solving through interdisciplinary learning. Participants engage in categories such as Science and Technology, Literature and Culture, Social Sciences, Art and Design, and Economics and Business. The competition also emphasizes leadership, teamwork, and communication skills through debates, public speaking, research projects, and collaborative tasks.

Galaxy International School highlighted that its involvement in international academic programs is part of a broader strategy to provide students with global learning experiences and prepare them to be responsible, globally-minded leaders. The school expressed confidence in the delegation, anticipating their success on the international stage and further showcasing Ghanaian schools' contributions to academic excellence and youth development.
