Skolarr: Delivering in 2026 with clarity and Momentum | Afopezi Moses

This year began differently for me, not like previous years, but riding on the incredible momentum we built in December.

We successfully onboarded new team members and over 50 volunteers to drive school outreach programs across Buea, Yaoundé, and Bamenda, coordinating activities in preparation for our flagship event: the Skolarr #Olympiads, which took place on Sunday, February 15th, 2026.

The competition in Yaoundé brought together 8 amazing schools, 22 teams, and over 200 students competing for a share of 500,000frs. After an intense Round 1 on the Skolarr App, Saint Benedict College's two teams, Franky Collège, and Lycée Detoug-Ebe advanced to the semi-finals, with Saint Benedict reclaiming the title.

Winners of the 3rd edition🏆:

🥇Science Category: Saint Benedict College – 1st

🥇 Arts Category: APEX Minds – 1st

This year, we also introduced special prizes:

🏆Special Schools Prize: Lycée D'Etoug-Ebe
