Opah M/A “2” School wins Ga West NCCE 1992 Constitution schools quiz

The Opah M/A “2” School in Amasaman has emerged victorious in the Ga West National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) 1992 Constitution schools quiz, scoring 73 points. Amasaman M/A 1 School came second with 67 points, while St. Joseph R/C Junior High School secured third place with 65 points. Valued Seed Academy and FOMWAG Islamic School placed fourth and fifth with 58 and 39 points, respectively.

The quiz formed part of the NCCE’s Constitution Week celebrations aimed at enhancing students’ understanding of the 1992 Constitution. Questions covered fundamental human rights and freedoms, functions and powers of government arms, and current affairs.

Madam Edith Akpene Awudor, Municipal Director of Ga West NCCE, said the competition not only boosted students’ constitutional knowledge but also promoted healthy competition and teamwork. She emphasised that civic education instills patriotism, deepens understanding of national values, and encourages active citizenship among youth. “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,” she noted.

Mr Elorm Avemegah, Assembly Member for Sarpaiman-Opah Electoral Area, commended the NCCE for creating opportunities for young people to appreciate their constitutional rights and responsibilities. He encouraged students to take the initiative seriously to avoid unlawful acts that could undermine national laws and appealed for the Commission to extend constitutional education to the wider public, especially those who cannot read or write.
