On the Citi Breakfast Show tomorrow [Monday], the finalists will be announced, after which they will start preparing for the grand finale.
Level III, which is the final round, will be a quiz competition which will be broadcast live on television.
The Literacy Challenge was launched on July 19, 2017, for JHS students in Ghana to write and suggest to the president how to make Accra the cleanest city in Africa.
After the entries were submitted, external examiners marked the scripts and selected the top 50 who went to the British Council to write the aptitude test.
The Literacy Challenge is sponsored by Bic, Milky Magic, Cowbell and Slydepay.
