Kwadaso NCCE educates SHS students on constitutional values
The Kwadaso Municipal Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has engaged students of two senior high schools in the municipality to promote constitutional awareness and responsible citizenship among the youth.
The Kwadaso Municipal Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) recently engaged students from Prempeh College and Methodist Technical School to promote understanding of the 1992 Constitution and responsible citizenship. The event aimed to educate the youth on the significance of the Constitution and their role in upholding Ghana's democracy.
Ms Mavis Achiaa, the Kwadaso Municipal Director of NCCE, emphasized that the Constitution is the supreme law of the country and serves as the basis for democratic governance in Ghana. The theme of the session was "Upholding Our Constitution in the Digital Age: Our Collective Responsibility." Ms Achiaa urged students to exhibit responsible behavior both online and offline, highlighting that the Constitution not only safeguards citizens' fundamental rights but also outlines their civic duties.
Ms Opoku, another NCCE official, pointed out that the Constitution remains pertinent in the era of rapid technological advancements that have transformed communication, access to information, and civic engagement. She cautioned that the misuse of digital platforms, especially social media, could jeopardize national cohesion and democratic stability due to issues like misinformation, cybercrime, online abuse, identity theft, and digital fraud.
During the interactive session, students raised questions about online safety, cyberbullying, and responsible usage of digital platforms. They were given practical advice on how to protect themselves online while contributing positively to governance and national development.
Teachers who attended the event praised NCCE for the initiative and called for the continuation of such educational engagements in schools. Following the program, Prempeh College and Methodist Technical School established Civic Education Clubs to foster ongoing civic learning and encourage responsible citizenship among students. The students expressed their gratitude to NCCE for the enlightening experience and pledged to apply their newfound knowledge in their academic and personal lives.
