The Korle Klottey Municipal Office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has 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, which aimed at promoting constitutional awareness, civic responsibility, and democratic values among schoolchildren, tested 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.
The NCCE has chosen the Constitution Week and Citizenship Week celebrations as a flagship program. The theme of this year's celebration is 'Digital Age: The Need to Uphold Discipline'. Mr Jonathan E. Nii Adjiri Sackey, Korle Klottey Municipal Director of the NCCE, said 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.
Mr Sackey urged children to use digital platforms responsibly, advising pupils to be mindful of the information, images, and messages they shared online. He also encouraged the pupils to use the internet as a tool for learning, research, and personal development rather than engaging in social vices and other harmful activities.
The NCCE's commitment to promoting constitutional awareness and democratic participation among the youth through continuous civic education programs was reaffirmed by Mr. Sackey. He expressed his appreciation to Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly, especially the Municipal Chief Executive, Alfred K. Ato Gaisie, and the Coordinating Director, Mr. Emmanuel Baesi.
Mr. Sackey noted that the Citizenship Week specifically targeted pupils in basic schools to help nurture responsible and law-abiding citizens from an early age, with the quiz competition serving as the climax of the program.
'The Constitution is alive, whether offline or online, children should be careful about what they share because the internet neither forgets nor forgives.'
Mr. Sackey spoke on behalf of the NCCE. The Commission had undertaken civic education activities throughout June, beginning in late May, with the quiz competition serving as the climax of the program.
