Presenting the awards to the schools in Accra, Mr Laary Bimi, NCCE Chairman, said other programmes would be replicated at the national, regional and district levels.
He said the aim was to educate citizens on "Fifty Years Search for Constitutionalism: The Story of Ghana."
The activities framed up in the Seventh Annual National Constitution Week celebration were also dedicated to the past, present and prognosis for the future, the NCCE stated in Accra.
The NCCE, main organisers of the annual event, explained that the essence of the topic was to add to the wealth of learning on constitutionalism in Ghana, enhance democratic governance and deepen public awareness.
The Constitution Week (April 28 to May 4) has been adopted as the commencement date for the activities in commemoration of the national referendum for the endorsement of the 1992 Constitution fashioned by the Consultative Assembly.
It also aimed at creating an increased and sustained interest and participation of all Ghanaians in the new democratic dispensation for the achievement of good governance, social and political stability for national unity and development.
It would also be used to examine individually and collectively, how Ghanaians had lived by the tenets and prescriptions of the Constitution.
The main lecture was given by Professor Kofi Quarshigah of the Faculty of Law, University of Ghana, Legon on the theme: "50-Years of Constitutionalism; The Past, Present and Prognosis for the Future."
