Epton Asamoah Noble, who once represented Opoku Ware School (OWASS) at the 2020 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ), has achieved a significant milestone by graduating as a medical doctor from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). Noble's journey from the NSMQ stage to becoming a doctor is a testament to his hard work and dedication. His stint on the NSMQ stage in 2020 placed him among the memorable faces of that year's contest.
Noble's six-year medical training at KNUST has equipped him with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in his field. The medical programme at KNUST is widely known in Ghana as one of the most demanding courses of study offered locally, combining years of classroom instruction with extensive clinical rotations. Completing this programme marks the end of a long and academically intensive road that many students who enter Ghana's medical schools do not always complete on schedule.
News of Noble's graduation drew reactions from both the OWASS and KNUST communities online, with many recalling his appearance on the NSMQ stage in 2020. For those who followed that year's edition of the quiz, seeing a familiar face from the competition emerge as a fully qualified doctor offered a sense of continuity between the promise shown by young contestants and the professional paths they eventually take.
The NSMQ remains Ghana's premier academic contest for secondary schools, and it is often the first public introduction many Ghanaians get to the country's top young minds. Contestants who go on to notable achievements in later life, as Noble has now done, tend to generate renewed interest in their old quiz appearances, with clips and memories resurfacing on social media.
According to Voice of KNUST, which announced the milestone, Noble qualified as Dr (Med.) Epton Asamoah Noble. The announcement was made on Saturday, September 26, 2026. This achievement is a significant milestone for Noble, his family, and his alma mater, OWASS.
While the available reports do not specify Noble's next career steps, such as where he will undertake his mandatory housemanship or which hospital he may be posted to, his graduation marks a significant achievement in his medical career. No further timeline has been given, and it is also not stated whether he plans to specialise in a particular area of medicine going forward.
Noble's story serves as an inspiration to many young students in Ghana, demonstrating that with hard work and determination, they can achieve their goals and make a positive impact in their chosen fields. His achievement is a testament to the quality of education provided by KNUST and the potential of Ghana's young minds.
