3 schools qualify for Cadet TV Personality Awards Grand Finale
Three schools have advanced to the grand finale of the Cadet TV Personality Awards following a keenly contested competition held in Accra last Friday.
The finalists- Blessed Home School and Crèche (Kwabenya), Sayork Heritage School, and Covenant Presbyterian School – emerged from a pool of 40 schools after an intense nomination stage.
The Cadet TV Personality Awards is a unique initiative aimed at empowering young people through media. The programme gives school children the opportunity to act as professional broadcasters, delivering live TV news bulletins on set. Participants are assessed on their confidence, presentation skills, and news reporting abilities.
A key highlight of the event was a special Safety Segment featuring ADO1 Leticia A. Akaadiini of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and Captain Nicholas Appiagyei from the 37 Military Hospital.
Serving as adjudicators and resource persons, they engaged the student anchors on fire safety and health, providing valuable insights and equipping them with practical knowledge to share with viewers.
The Cadet TV Personality Awards seeks to nurture the next generation of media professionals by offering hands-on experience in a real television setting, while also building confidence and communication skills among school children.
The competition now enters its public voting phase, which will culminate in the Grand Finale and Awards Ceremony in September 2025, where the ultimate winners will be crowned

President of the Ghana Bar Association, Efua Ghartey, has called on judges and lawyers to carry out their duties with humility, fairness, and a strong sense of responsibility.
She made the appeal during the Supreme Court at 150 celebration held at the University of Ghana, under the theme “Honouring the past, celebrating the present and defining the future.”
Addressing participants, she noted that those in the legal profession occupy positions of great power and influence, and must therefore remain humble in the discharge of their duties.
She urged both the bench and the bar to deliver justice without fear or ill will, stressing the need for fairness in handling cases.
Reflecting on the significance of the celebration, she explained that the year 1876 marks not only the establishment of the Supreme Court but also the beginning of formally trained lawyers in the Gold Coast.
The GBA President questioned what Ghana would be without the rule of law, which is upheld by judges and lawyers, adding that the country could descend into a system where only the strongest survive if justice is not properly administered.
She further encouraged legal practitioners to reflect on their responsibilities and remain committed to upholding the rule of law for the benefit of all citizens.
