Oyibi Zonal NCCE Exposes RANA JHS Students to Consequences of Online Misconduct

The Oyibi Zonal Office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has engaged students of RANA Junior High School, tying into activities to mark this year's Citizenship Week Celebration.

The session focused on equipping young learners with the knowledge and values needed to navigate the digital space responsibly. Discussions centred on cyberbullying, children’s rights and duties, and the ethical use of the internet and social media.

Students were cautioned to verify information before sharing online, underscoring the dangers of misinformation in today’s fast-paced digital environment.

Touching on the provisions of the 1992 Constitution, officials indicated that while Chapter 5 of the legal framework guarantees fundamental rights, Article 41 equally enjoins every citizen, including children, to respect the law, foster peace, and safeguard the nation’s reputation.

By the close of the program, the learners demonstrated a clear grasp of how Ghanaian values such as honesty, respect for authority, and tolerance can be applied in their online interactions. They pledged to embrace these principles in their digital lives, promoting unity across tribal, cultural, and gender lines.
