Accra, Sept. 18, GNA – The Amamorley Methodist 2 Basic School has emerged victorious in the Ga North National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) 1992 Constitution schools quiz.
The school polled 44 points, followed closely by second placed Methodist 1 Basic School with 43 points, and third placed Peace Anchor Academy with 40 points.
The competition formed part of the Commission’s activities to mark this year’s Constitution Week celebrations to enhance the students knowledge and understanding of the 1992 Constitution.
Madam Mabel Munufie, Municipal Director of Ga North NCCE, said the Commission recognised that civic education had a greater potential to instil patriotism, deepen understanding of national values, and encourage active citizenship.
“The NCCE established by the Constitution of Ghana exists to formulate, implement and oversee programmes intended to inculcate constitutional awareness, civic responsibility and democratic participation among citizens.”
“Quiz provides a platform not only for enhancing student’s knowledge of the Constitution but also for promoting healthy competition and teamwork among young leaners,” she added.
Mrs Munufie said the competition centred on the 1992 Constitution, including fundamental human rights and freedoms, functions and powers of the arms of governments, and current affairs.
She added that this was to complement the Social Studies subject they studied in school to give them a clearer understanding of their civic rights and responsibilities.
The Ga North NCCE Director noted that they would be running other activities as part of the Week celebrations, including organising community education and sensitisation programmes for residents in the Municipality.
We are reconstituting civic clubs in the schools to enhance and promote the awareness and understanding of the Constitution among the students.
Mr Raymond Tetteh Commey, Assembly Member for the Amamorley Electoral Area, Ga North Municipality, commended the NCCE for the initiative to promote the understanding of the Constitution among the students.
He urged the students to take the initiative serious to enable them stay away from unlawful acts and conducts which could undermine the laws of the country.
Mr Commey also urged the Commission to simplify the Constitution in local languages for the understanding of all, especially those who could neither read nor write in the English language.
Miss Beatrice Sagoe, a Form Three Student at Amamorley Methodist 2 Basic School, said the competition had broadened her knowledge and understanding of the Constitution.
