Tema, Sept. 24, GNA – The Tema Community 11 Complex School has emerged as winners of the 2025 National Commission for Civic Education’s (NCCE) Constitutional Quiz competition for selected Basic Schools in the Tema metropolis.Â
The school won with 58 points, outshining their closest contender, SOS Hermann Gmeiner JHS, who secured 49 points after answering four rounds of questions comprising open-ended, multiple-choice, and true-or-false on the 1992 Constitution.
The other schools contesting were Mante Din JHS and Amen Basic JHS, who respectively gained 29 and 24 points.
Contestants were presented with certificates, exercise books, bibles, copies of the 1992 Constitution, and plaques.
Madam Gifty Agyeiwaa Badu, the Tema Metro NNCE Director, said the working theme of the NCCE for this was “Ghana’s Future: Collective Responsibility”, adding that the constitution quiz is one of the ways the commission uses to promote the study and application of the tenets of the 1992 Constitution in an entertaining manner among pupils in basic schools.
Madam Badu said it was also part of the efforts to deepen patriotism and civic consciousness among the younger generation, indicating that it helped the contestants and schools to enhance their knowledge and build teamwork while having fun.
She expressed gratitude to the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) for their continuous support towards NCCE programmes, especially the 1992 constitutional quizzes that her outfit organises to promote the learning of the fundamental law of the country.
Madam Ebi Bright, the Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive, in a speech read on her behalf, commended the NCCE for the sensitisation of the public on their civic responsibilities and rights.
Madam Bright added that the 1992 Constitution was the bedrock of Ghana’s democracy, serving also as a guarantor of freedom while guiding the responsibilities of citizens.
She added that the theme was timely and inspiring, stressing that building Ghana was not the sole responsibility of the government and therefore urging all Ghanaians to play their respective roles in safeguarding the country.
Madam Bernice Ofori, the Tema Metropolitan Education Director, in a speech read on her behalf, reiterated that the 1992 Constitution creates the foundation for democracy, rights and responsibility, adding that the lesson learnt by the schools was not only for the quiz but also provided them with a powerful tool to hold leaders accountable.
