PRU WEST NCCE ENGAGES PRANG SHS FORM ONE STUDENTS DURING THEIR ORIENTATION.

The Pru West District Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has encouraged first-year students of Prang Senior High School to embrace their constitutional responsibilities and actively participate in civic education activities.

The engagement, held as part of the school's orientation programme for newly admitted students, sought to introduce participants to the mandate of the Commission, educate them on their constitutional rights and duties, and encourage membership of the school's Civic Education Club.

The initiative formed part of the Directorate's quarterly activities under the theme, "Upholding Our Constitution in a Digital Age: Our Collective Responsibility."

Addressing the students, the NCCE District Director, Mr. Frank Dzakpasu, explained the constitutional mandate, establishment, and core values of the Commission. He highlighted the importance of civic education in promoting responsible citizenship, constitutional awareness and the sustenance of Ghana's democratic governance.

Mr. Dzakpasu encouraged the students to join the school's Civic Education Club and participate actively in its programmes. He emphasised that the club provides an opportunity for young people to deepen their understanding of civic responsibilities and develop attitudes that promote respect for democratic principles.

The Senior Civic Education Officer, Mr. Mujeeb Musah, educated participants on Article 25 of the 1992 Constitution, which guarantees educational rights, and Article 41, which outlines the duties of citizens.

He drew attention to the importance of understanding the relationship between constitutional rights and civic obligations, encouraging students to appreciate their responsibilities as members of the school community and citizens of Ghana.

The students expressed interest in joining the Civic Education Club and demonstrated appreciation for the Commission's efforts to promote constitutional awareness and democratic values.

The engagement reinforced the Directorate's commitment to nurturing constitutionally conscious young people who understand their rights, fulfil their civic duties and contribute positively to Ghana's democratic development.
