Tema, Sept. 24, GNA —The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Ledzokuku Municipal Office, has organised its 2025 constitutional quiz, with Roosevelt International Schools emerging as winners.
The Roosevelt International School scored 62 points, followed by the Gerald International School with 58 points, Ford Schools Limited, gaining 54 points to claim the third position, and Teshie Estate Preparatory School placed fourth, with 48 points.
The competition covered questions from various chapters of the 1992 Constitution, which included human rights and responsibilities, arms of government, current affairs, separation of powers, and checks and balances, among others.
The quiz competition formed part of activities organised by the NCCE to mark constitutional week celebration, aimed at enhancing students’ knowledge and understanding of the 1992 Constitution and how it guides the country in its policies, decision-making and governance.
Mr. Nicholas Atiogbe, the Municipal Director for the NCCE, said the quiz was organised to educate civic education club members to embrace the history and constitution of the land.
He added that the students must inculcate values that will help them to be responsible children in society.
He indicated that it was the commission’s obligation to educate the students and embed in them good morals through education, counselling and career guidance.
Mr. Atigbe said: “Most often, we say the children are our future leaders, but the future is now; it is therefore important to guide and educate them to make good decisions that would benefit them and the country at large and to stay away from social vices.”
Mr. Atiogbe noted that the NCCE was working on other innovative activities like quizzes, excursions, and drama, among others, to whip up the students’ interest in state affairs.
He said that even though they expected that all the students would be given the opportunity to participate in school programmes, the NCCE mostly faced challenges with heads of schools denying civic officers access to engage their students.
He therefore pleaded with heads of schools and the Parent Teachers Association (PTA) to open their doors for the commission to have engagement with the teachers and students.
Miss Sybil Aseye Setuagbe, a pupil of Roosevelt International Schools, said the competition has helped them learn to work in teams and broaden their knowledge on the 1992 Constitution and their fundamental rights.
