He said upholding the principles of the 1992 Constitution at that age could go a long way to build an enlightened society conscious of the importance of the rule of law and multi-party democracy.

Mr. Antwi made these comments during a quiz competition organised by the District Directorate of NCCE for three basic schools in the district in commemoration of Ghana's 68th independence anniversary.

The quiz which was organised in collaboration with the District Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES), sought to test the knowledge of the pupils on the Constitution.

Representatives from the District Assembly, District Education Directorate as well as pupils from the participating school witnessed the keenly contested competition.

United Basic Junior High School emerged as winners with 53 points followed by Manso Adubia D/A Junior High School (48) and Nyankumasi TI Ahmadiyyah Junior High School (42).

The District Director of NCCE admonished the children to be disciplined, respectful, truthful, and hardworking as young people destined to assume the leadership of the country in future.
He encouraged them to be abreast with the contents of the Constitution to ensure they don't depart from their civic responsibilities.

Mr. Stephen Adu Darko, the District Director of Education, commended NCCE for putting together the quiz to promote healthy competition between the schools.
