NCCE Adentan Educates St. Michael’s International School Pupils on Responsible Digital Citizenship

The Adentan Municipal Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has organized a civic education programme for pupils of St. Michael’s International School at Foster Home as part of the 2026 Citizenship Week Celebration.

Held under the theme, “Growing Up in the Digital Age: The Ghanaian Child Upholding the Constitution Online,” the programme aimed to equip pupils with knowledge on responsible digital citizenship and constitutional values.

Ms. Sandra Dede Quarshie and Mrs. Vida O. Addo facilitated the session and sensitized the pupils on the dangers and consequences of unhealthy online practices among children with increasing access to smart devices and the internet.

During the engagement, pupils were reminded that the enjoyment of rights and freedoms comes with duties and responsibilities. They were encouraged to act responsibly both online and offline, recognizing that the 1992 Constitution of Ghana remains the supreme law of the land and a guide for responsible citizenship.

The resource persons emphasized that young people have a duty to uphold and defend the Constitution by respecting the rights of others and conducting themselves in ways that promote peace, tolerance, and national development.

Pupils were advised to avoid cyberbullying, online harassment, the spread of false information, and other behaviours that could harm individuals or society. They were also reminded that actions that violate Ghanaian law may attract legal consequences.

The programme helped the pupils to better understand the relationship between constitutional rights and responsibilities, while reinforcing the importance of responsible digital behaviour in today’s technology-driven world.
