Roosevelt International School wins 2025 constitutional quiz in Ledzokuku

The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Ledzokuku Municipal Office, has concluded its 2025 constitutional quiz, with Roosevelt International School emerging as the winner. The school scored 62 points, followed by Gerald International School with 58 points, Ford Schools Limited with 54 points in third place, and Teshie Estate Preparatory School finishing fourth with 48 points.

The competition tested students on various chapters of the 1992 Constitution, including human rights and responsibilities, arms of government, current affairs, separation of powers, and checks and balances. The quiz formed part of activities to mark Constitutional Week, aimed at enhancing students’ understanding of the Constitution and its role in shaping policies, governance, and decision-making in Ghana.

Mr Nicholas Atiogbe, Municipal Director for the NCCE, explained that the quiz was organised to educate civic education club members on the history and principles of the Constitution and to instil values that promote responsible citizenship. He stressed the importance of guiding students to make good decisions, avoid social vices, and embrace leadership responsibilities, noting that “the future is now.”

Mr Atiogbe further indicated that the NCCE is planning additional initiatives, including quizzes, excursions, and drama, to stimulate student interest in civic affairs. He appealed to school heads and Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) to provide the commission with access to students and teachers, citing challenges with some schools restricting engagement.

Miss Sybil Aseye Setuagbe, a pupil at Roosevelt International School, said the competition helped students learn teamwork and broaden their knowledge of the 1992 Constitution and fundamental rights. The quiz highlights NCCE’s ongoing efforts to educate young people and foster civic responsibility in Ghana.
