NCCE crowns the Constitution Week celebration with a competition

The Korle Klottey Municipal Office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) organised the 2026 Constitution Quiz Competition for selected basic schools as part of activities marking this year's constitution week and citizenship week celebrations. The competition aimed at promoting constitutional awareness, civic responsibility, and democratic values among schoolchildren, testing contestants on Chapter 19 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, the mandate of the National Commission for Civic Education, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy, and sanitation.

Five schools participated in the contest, with Liberty Avenue Two Basic School emerging as the winner, All Saints Basic School placed second, while Adabraka Presbyterian Basic School and St. Barnabas Anglican Basic School jointly took third place and Gray Memorial Basic School finished fifth. Mr. Jonathan E. Nii Adjiri Sackey, Korle Klottey Municipal Director of the NCCE, stated that the Constitution Quiz Competition had become an annual activity used to crown the Commission's Constitution Week and Citizenship Week celebrations. He explained that the celebrations were aimed at reminding Ghanaians that the country was governed by the 1992 Constitution, which every citizen had a responsibility to uphold and defend. He said, "we have a flagship programme as a Commission, which is Constitution Week and Citizenship Week celebrations." Mr. Sackey noted that Citizenship Week specifically targeted pupils in basic schools to help nurture responsible and law-abiding citizens from an early age.
