The Guyana Learning Channel yesterday wrapped up its second season of Whiz Kids with Marian Academy’s Joseph Prendergast emerging as the 2023 champion, a Ministry of Education (MoE) release stated yesterday.
The release explained that the finals which were held at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre in Liliendaal, saw two sets of semi-finalists competing for a spot in the lightning round. Makai Dowlin, Miles Gonsalves, and Aiden Persaud, from the School of the Nations; Demetrius Garaway and Kia Griffith from Jo’sel Educational Institute, and Joseph, were split into groups of three to compete for one of two spots in the playoff round. The pupils answered an array of questions from four categories, English, Science, Mathematics, and Social Studies.
