Jays International School Wins Second Edition of C4K Competition for the Second Time in a Row

Jays International School has once again come out on top after winning the second edition of the C4K Coding Competition, held on 12 November 2025 during the National Digital Education Conference 2025. This marks the second time in a row that the school has won the event, showing steady progress in coding and digital learning.

The C4K Coding Competition was organised by afiDE Ghana in partnership with AmaliTech. The competition aims to help young learners build interest in coding, improve their thinking skills, and grow confidence in using technology. This year, five schools took part: Precious Jesus School, JC Mensah Memorial School, Jays International School, Royal Madonna School, and Acropolis Maranatha School.

Throughout the event, students worked on a number of coding tasks. These tasks tested their ability to solve problems, write clear code, and work together as a team. All the schools showed strong effort and focus. However, Jays International School stood out with steady performance and clear solutions that impressed the judges.

Representatives from afiDE Ghana and AmaliTech shared that they were pleased with the level of work shown by the students. They noted that the competition is a good sign that more young people in Ghana are growing interested in digital skills. They also encouraged all schools to continue training their students in coding, as it is an important skill for the future.

Leaders from Jays International School shared their joy about the win. They thanked their students for the hard work they put into preparing for the competition. They also thanked their teachers for the support they gave throughout the year. The school expressed pride in winning again and said it hopes to keep building strong coding skills among its learners.

The National Digital Education Conference 2025 also highlighted the need for more practical digital learning in Ghana. Many speakers at the conference encouraged schools to adopt more computer- based activities so that students can learn skills that will help them in the modern world.

As this year’s C4K Competition comes to an end, Jays International School celebrates a well-earned victory. We congratulate them for winning the event for the second time in a row. We also wish Precious Jesus School, JC Mensah Memorial School, Royal Madonna School, and Acropolis Maranatha School good luck in the next edition of the competition. Their effort and spirit made the event exciting and meaningful.

Jay’s International School at Oyarifa in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana won the maiden edition of the Coding for Kids competition organized by afiDE Ghana(RGC) and AmaliTech.

Coding for Kids(C4K) was a side event at RGC’s digital transition conference, which was organized on November 15, 2024, at the Confucious Institute at the University of Ghana, Legon. The schools that participated in the C4K competition were Acropolis Maranatha School—Pokuase, Royal Madonna School—Taifa, Jay’s International School—Oyarifa, and Clarus Academy—Oyarifa.

At the end of the competition, Acropolis Maranatha School scored 84 points, Royal Madonna scored 87 points, Clarus Academy scored 88 percent and Jay’s International School took home the prize with 89 points.

 

Begin with “The coding competition was an opportunity for students to exhibit their programming skills and to showcase the use of one of our software: Scratch. In the space of four weeks, RGC and AmaliTech assessed the selected schools. AmaliTech gave the schools a two-week training curriculum. The schools were assessed to see whether they were ready for the coding competition or not.

There were three challenges allocated to all three schools. The challenges focused on social good such as Environmental Protection, Peer Pressure, and Education.

Acropolis came up with a project around protecting the environment, with some very interesting ideas about a superhero and a bad guy who had his minions.

Clarus Academy also took a similar approach by explaining and exploring the topic in greater detail, but they did not include the superhero element. Additionally, they worked on a project focused on environmental protection

Jay’s International School worked on peer pressure, including decision-making and an interesting quiz at the end. Royal Madonna also did a project on peer pressure. Rules governed the competition. The participants were allowed access to the internet to explore and be more creative.

The judging criteria was grouped into Technical, Creativity, and Team Dynamics. The judges were Mr. Paul Asitik from AmaliTech, a technical judge, Miss Miriam Ocloo from GSET, a Creativity judge, and Mr. Kwarteng of Educare, a Team Dynamics judge.

Amalitech staff and each school’s computing facilitators were acknowledged on stage and appreciated.

RGC and AmaliTech congratulate Jay’s International School (Oyarifa) for winning the inaugural Coding for Kids (C4K) competition and we wish them all the best in their programming journey.
