A scene during the programme
The 2025 Inter-School Reading Quiz (ISRQ) was launched yesterday at the British Council Hall in Accra with hundreds of guests including previous participants funding patrons, traditional council representatives, local and foreign, among others turning up for the activity.
Under the theme, “Literacy for all; Inclusivity in Action” the activity seeks to enhance the reading culture among children.
Organized by Perbi Cubs, ISRQ 2025 targets the improvement of literacy skills among children between the ages of 6 and 14 in schools in Ghana. This 2025 edition has already seen massive registration from various regions of Ghana.
The quiz encourages learners’ love for reading, builds their vocabulary and literary knowledge across different subjects and genres, and assesses their reading comprehension through questions crafted to be as fun as it is challenging.
After a competitive contest, a winning school will 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.
Mrs. Anyele Perbi whose speech was read on her behalf emphasised that this year’s ISRQ is special due to its inclusive nature: welcoming visually impaired learners and hearing-impaired learners.
She highlighted Perbi Cubs’ commitment to overcoming Africa’s learning poverty through digital library services, Success Club, Funtastika, Child Development, ISRQ, and more.
Esteemed guests from CENDLOS, Mastercard Foundation, and UNESCO stressed the importance of reading in shaping Ghana’s youth. Mrs. Perbi expressed gratitude to partners, schools, and students for their dedication to the competition.
