DPSI Students Raj Thakwani and Shriman Jha Discuss Their Recent Participation in the IJSO

Published: July 08, 2022

Students Raj Thakwani and Shriman Jha of DPS International Ghana, talk about their recent participation in the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) in the UAE (Dubai), where DPSI came back with a bronze medal. Both share their experience and explain what have been the benefits of participating in such a high-level international competition, as well as being a DPSI student.

Student Shriman Jha: The competition by its nature is very hard. The pre-college questions were about things that we do not do in our daily activities. We knew that we were going to face questions that were very challenging. We realized that this year was going to be even tougher because the syllabus underwent a change and the questions were hybrid. They wanted to reduce the amount of cheating. But in the end, we were able to do well.

Student Raj Thakwani: We had to learn a lot of topics we had never seen before with our teachers. But preparing for the competition and participating was a lot of fun. When it was over, we had a week over there to relax and bond as a group.

Jha: We won two bronze medals. I won a bronze and another student, Ivan from Christian High, won a bronze. We were the only African nation to win more than one medal in the whole competition.

Jha: This is my eleventh year at DPS, and I don’t think I would have found a better school because it has exposed me to opportunities like extracurricular activities. I had the chance to do public speaking and go to several Olympiads. There is also team building in the class that take students out of their fields and work to their maximum capacity. Things like music, art and sports.

Jha: This competition gave me the opportunity to display some of my leadership skills because I was captain of Team Ghana, and it enabled me to communicate with everyone and prep them. Some things that a leader should do before a major competition. It enabled me to get that opportunity to see some things that I would do in the future as a leader.

Thakwani: Within four days we had to do the practicals with people we had never seen before. I think the competition helped us to adapt more quickly and taught us how to survive in the future.
