The Academic Talent Development Program (ATDP) through the Ghana Olympiad Academy launched its latest initiative – Mathleticus Math Tournament (MMT), for lovers of Maths who are 16 years and below. This tournament helps schools promote excellence in math, raise student test scores, increase student self-esteem, develop problem-solving skills, and hone cooperative skills in a competitive environment. It is also designed to allow outstanding mathematics students to meet and compete with each other, and to promote public interest in mathematics.

In the end, 50 students from 12 schools were able to make it to the finals. David Blankson – Hermans (DP1), Mathlete 33, from SOS – HGIC emerged as the overall champion of this tournament.
