To be a man of the law! That was what Luke wanted to be when he grew up. He dreamt about this, until, as fate would have it, he was touched by the example of his childhood hero Mr Albert Dwohona, who was an Agricultural extension officer. Mr Dwohona’s impact on Luke was such that he also decided to become an Agric extension officer. Sadly, Luke’s father died when he was in SHS 2 in Wa Secondary School. Life became tough. However Luke preserved, engaging in farm work and petty trading to finance his schooling. After successfully completing secondary school, he continued to St. John Bosco College where he majored in Mathematics and Science. After that, he was posted to his current school, Serekpere RC JHS to teach Integrated Science. He currently handles about one hundred and twenty-one students.
Luke has been a member of GAST since 2016 and attends the various workshops organized by the association in order to enrich his knowledge in STEM. As a STEM educator, Luke is inspired by his ability to impart knowledge to the younger generation. He says that teaching STEM also gives him a clear understanding of the concepts he teaches, to the benefit of himself and his students.
Luke is really motivated when his students ask questions, when they understand every lesson, and when they perform well in tests. He also loves to make lessons practical, which he has found arouses the interest of his students in studying science. It is also quite a bit of fun.
Luke was informed about his school’s participation in the JUNEOS Challenge by the headmaster who had also received the information from the district office. Luke led his students to prepare an experiment on the filtration of water, using principles which can be applied in the lives of students and residents to purify water for domestic use. He is confident that this experiment demonstrated by his students will draw attention to particular experiments that educators need to teach their students.
Since his participation in the JUNEOS Challenge, Luke has realized the importance of practical demonstrations during lessons where his students can use various apparatus to conduct experiments for themselves.
Luke Nyuvore hopes to become a lecturer in the future.

Luke is a friend and we got acquainted when we met at St. JohbnBosco College of Education, Navrongo, Ghana. He had been a hard working student and was committed in whatever he was doing. He was and will always be a man of vision, integrity, compassion and hard working. I used to ‘tag’ him ‘man of standards’ because he always insisted on standards. He would not condone any shabby work in which ever area around his life. I am glad to hear that you are among the first 100 shortlisted competitors in STEM. your hard work, commitment, integrity, and your insistence on standards in any area of life is paying off. I wish you so well in this competition. Kudos!
The sky is your limit my brother. Continue doing the good work and you will surely excel. Good luck
May God continue to bless you in all your endeavors bro
Wishing you all the best
He hardworking and courageous
Luke was my student at JHS level and he had always been a keen listener, meticulous student when it comes to practical topics and subjects. I saw that Luke demonstrating these traits would one day make a mark in the field of Sciences cum Technology should the opportunity be given him. I was happy when he called me somewhere in 2019 and told me he wanted to read applied Chemistry.
I’m singularly proud of this former student of mine. May he soar higher and make Mother Ghana proud.
Kudos to you
Determination is what I have always known you to be Mr. Luke. Keep it up and the skies shall surely be your limit.
You really deserve what ever that comes your way as this science thin is concern. May God See you through.
May God almighty bless and elevate you to higher heights which all the great men who lived in the same world never reached before their death.
Bravo!!!
Amen
Thank you very Hon .Dr.Bagbin
Luck is very good since his Senior high school days and I am not surprise of what he is doing.

His desire for scientific research and knowledge started way back at JHS. You are example to your students. All the best
This is great Luke, keep it up I am proud of you.
Even though he was my batch mate at Wa Secondary school,I got to know him more during our days as Prefects.I must admit,he is hardworking and pays attention to details.His charisma and seriousness at work examplifies a perfect case of modesty.Indeeed,he respects authority to the core .
I’m not surprised he is among the top 100, considering how committed he is to work and how innovative he is when it comes to imparting knowledge in his pupils. May God see you through this

Mr. Luke is a closed friend and a colleague science teacher as well. He’s committed to his work as a teacher and is always striving hard for a good performance of his pupils despite the inadequate teaching and learning materials in our schools, he improvises to enhance the understanding of his pupils. I can say without doubt in my mind that he stands tall among his peers and he emerge the best.
Luke from the onset was passionate about his work , this isn’t new he was zealous and he really conducted himself in human relations . He had always been hungry for knowledge . Go higher hero of our time
