GB Assessment has declared its pride in supporting the 2025 edition of The Literacy Challenge, reaffirming its commitment to education and literacy development across Ghana.
The announcement came during the grand finale of the competition, held on Saturday, August 16, at the Alisa Hotel in Accra, where 10 finalists from across the country are battling for the coveted title and a GH¢10,000 cash prize.
Speaking at the event, Linda Adwoa Koomson, Communication Lead at GB Assessment, emphasized the alignment between the company’s mission and the core objectives of the Literacy Challenge.
“The Literacy Challenge seeks to help students gain more knowledge and take pride in what they do academically; that is exactly what GB Assessment stands for.
“We work with over 3,000 schools across the country, and for the first time, this year’s challenge saw student entries from all 16 regions. We are proud to be part of such a meaningful initiative that empowers students,” she said.
Organised by Citi FM and Channel One TV, the 2025 Literacy Challenge attracted hundreds of entries from Junior High School students nationwide. The competition aims to promote strong reading, writing, and critical thinking skills.
This year’s challenge began on July 10 with an essay task that asked students to explore the effects of climate change on agriculture in Ghana and propose practical solutions to the challenges it poses for individuals, families, and communities.
After a rigorous selection process, 10 outstanding students advanced to the final stage, where they competed in a quiz designed to test their knowledge, reasoning, and articulation.
As a key sponsor, GB Assessment believes its involvement is more than corporate social responsibility; it is a reflection of its vision to elevate education quality nationwide. Ms. Koomson noted that through strategic partnerships, GB Assessment continues to play a critical role in improving literacy outcomes in Ghanaian schools.
Other sponsors of the 2025 Literacy Challenge include BEL MOOO.
