NCCE organises quiz competition for selected schools at Wassa Amenfi Central

Some selected schools in the Wassa Amenfi Central District of the Western Region have participated in a quiz competition to mark this year’s Independence Day celebration.

The quiz, organised by the Wassa Amenfi Central District Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), was on the theme: “Ghana’s Future – Our Collective Responsibility.”

It was contested by Ko Blay Memorial Education Centre, Manso Amenfi D/A Junior High School (JHS), Manso Amenfi R/C JHS, and Wesley Methodist JHS.

The quiz was part of the activities of the NCCE to get students at the basic level to learn and better understand the contents of the 1992 Constitution, be abreast with current affairs, and values of patriotism.

At the end of the competition, Ko Blay Memorial Education Centre emerged winners, Manso Amenfi D/A JHS placed second, Manso Amenfi R/C JHS came third, and Wesley Methodist JHS placing fourth.

All schools were awarded trophies, books, pens, and copies of the 1992 Constitution as their prizes.

Mr. Daniel Kumi, Wassa Amenfi Central District Civic Education Officer, speaking on behalf of the District NCCE Director, said the competition was part of the Commission’s mandates to imbibe a sense of patriotism in students at basic level towards nation building.

He said as citizens, they must be interested in current affairs and be responsible and law-abiding to help build a better country for all.

He asked them to always read the contents of the 1992 Constitution to know their rights and responsibilities as enshrined in the Constitution.
