The director also highlighted that the school is working on other projects, such as Mathematics and ICT, including how Artificial Intelligence can be explored in schools. On the importance of competing with other learners, Mr Itwange said, “It’s like you are covered in a box. When one tells you there is light outside, you doubt it until the box is opened. Then, you would actually know that there is more for you that is yet to be discovered. A chess completion exposes the learners to truly see where they are and then know if they are improving.
“I started playing chess when I got into Secondary School, in JSS 1. That was about five years ago. I have been at the Chess club ever since. I feel I have an edge over some students who do not play chess. Some of them feel that it is a boring game. My advice is that they shouldn’t see it as just a board. It’s more than that.”About 15 schools attended the competition this year. The top three in the primary category are Christabel Schools, Vine Care, and Thrive Academy.
