FOOTPRINTS OF GLORY has identified the need for quiz and public speaking programs in the Tsito circuit. Most schools do not have extracurricular programs, particularly academic extracurricular programs. Students rarely have the chance to interact with students from other schools particularly students from other communities. The foundation of every good student starts from the basic schools. Basic school may be the last chance to productively reach students who are classified as “at risk students”. These students often become under achievers by the time they reach Senior High School.  Quiz programs often inject competition among children and schools thereby improving their levels of understanding, learning and teaching. If we can reach students in the basic schools, they are able to get the benefits of quiz programs. This means that students will be able to use the benefits of quiz training once they reach senior high and beyond. In addition, parents are more likely to be actively involved in their children’s education. Parental involvement is an essential part of the program’s sustainability and expansion. Quiz competitions are a long-running tradition that encourages school children to develop their skills of reading, vocabulary and spelling as well as developing their confidence in public speaking. A recent observation of school children in the Tsito circuit has shown falling standards in the performance of children within the circuit. Also parent–child relationship with regards to schooling and learning is also very poor in the Tsito circuit. Teachers are willing but there has not been any program to motivate them or help them organize such quizzes and this is what FOOTPRINTS OF GLORY with the introduction of Quiz Competition in all three (3) circuits of Awudome. In this respect, participating in a quiz is much like writing your final examination. When students write exams, they combine variety of skills; spelling, grammatical construction, evidence analysis, organization, outlining and word choice, and this program will help them in achieving the above skills and also help prepare them for life. The aims of this quiz competition are:

1. To improve the skills of reading and research.
2. To enhance student’s development of communication under pressure.
3. To provide an opportunity for students from different school to meet and socialize.
4. To encourage parent’s involvement by motivating their ward’s learning and also provision of their school needs.
5. To help create healthy competition among students and schools.

Primary schools and Junior High Schools annually compete against each other for the coveted annual championship trophy. Schools compete in the quarter final, semi final and final.
