NCCE urges students to fight corruption
The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) in Ghana held a youth dialogue in the Upper West Region to promote anti-corruption values and good governance. The event aimed to educate student leaders on their constitutional rights and the importance of demanding accountability from public institutions.
Why it matters
Corruption is identified as a primary barrier to Ghana's economic and social development, making civic education essential for long-term democratic stability.
The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has urged student groups in Wa of the Upper West Region to promote accountability, uphold the rule of law and reject corruption.
The call was made during a youth dialogue organised by the NCCE, with support from the Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV) and other partners.
The engagement brought together student leaders and youth groups to deepen their understanding of good governance, corruption, accountability and the rule of law.
The programme formed part of the commission’s constitutional mandate to educate citizens on their rights and responsibilities, and to encourage public participation in governance.
It featured presentations by officials of the NCCE and the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), alongside interactive sessions with students drawn from groups such as the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG), the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) and other associations.
