NSMQ honours Prof. Elsie Kaufmann for 20 years of dedicated service
The National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) has celebrated its quiz mistress, Professor Elsie Kaufmann, for two decades of dedicated service to the competition.
The National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) honored Professor Elsie Kaufmann for her remarkable 20-year tenure as its quiz mistress. The prestigious academic competition, which Professor Kaufmann has moderated since 2006, celebrated her achievement during the official launch of the 2026 NSMQ on August 13. Organizers cleverly withheld her surprise recognition until she took the stage, underscoring her brilliance, loyalty, confidence, and competence in her role.
She was presented with a bouquet of white roses, eucalyptus, and an emerald twist to mark the milestone.
The organizers praised Professor Kaufmann for serving as a role model to countless young people, especially girls who have been inspired by her to excel in science. She expressed gratitude for the recognition, reflecting on her long association with the competition and the joy she has derived from it. As the NSMQ prepares to welcome a record 174 schools in its 2026 edition, Professor Kaufmann's enduring contribution to promoting science, mathematics, and academic excellence among Ghana's youth is evident.
