The battle will involve general knowledge questions covering local, national and international news; business; sport; politics; and entertainment/leisure, all drawn from The Herald during the six weeks.
As silver sponsor of The Herald Isuzu Schools Quiz 2025, Astron Energy was excited about partnering with the competition again, Eyona Energy general manager: retail and marketing Sithsaba Xhala said as the competition helped pupils to expand their world views and enhance their literacy skills.
“By continuing to support this initiative, we reinforce our dedication to fostering a culture of learning, curiosity and informed citizenship, values which align perfectly with our corporate mission of making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve,” Xhala said.
“For learners, we hope this initiative inspires a lifelong passion for learning, critical thinking and active engagement in society.”
Eyona Energy, a proudly Eastern Cape business, is the authorised franchiser of Astron Energy.
“Many pupils in the province face limited access to quality educational resources, the digital divide and socioeconomic hardships which affect their academic performance,” Xhala said.
“Initiatives like this competition help bridge some of these gaps by promoting research, encouraging analytical skills and fostering a love for knowledge.”
And apart from the bragging rights and excellent learning opportunity offered by The Herald Isuzu Schools Quiz 2025, there is an array of fantastic prizes up for grabs, totalling more than R260,000.
This includes a R35,000 cash prize from co-naming sponsor Isuzu Motors SA to be shared among the top three schools — R20,000 for first place, R10,000 for second and R5,000 for third.
In addition, Astron Energy is providing fuel vouchers totalling R7,000 to be shared among the top three schools.
As a word of encouragement to participating pupils, Xhala said he commended the entrants for their dedication to learning and personal growth
“Knowledge is one of the most powerful tools you can possess — it opens doors, broadens perspectives and creates opportunities.
“Stay curious, challenge yourselves and never stop striving for excellence.
“Your journey in education is not just about passing exams, but about shaping a future where you can make a difference.
“At Astron Energy, we believe in your potential and we are proud to support your pursuit of knowledge.
“Keep pushing forward and remember that every lesson you learn today is an investment in your success tomorrow.”
