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

It was an exciting moment as hundreds of revellers from various parts of Accra trooped to the independence square beach in Osu to celebrate Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day.
Parents were seen with their children having fun and enjoying the moment.
Others made the best of their outing by engaging in other fun activities.
For many, the day was more than just a holiday. It was a chance to remember what Ghana’s First President, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, stood for.
Beach operators said this year’s turnout was very high and security personnel and lifeguards were also on hand to ensure safety and order.
The United Nations has warned, that Gender equality is “woefully off track.”
At the current rate of progress, gender equality would take 171 years to achieve, the UN’s Gender Snapshot report said.
The number of countries with a woman as head of state or government has increased from 2020 to 2026. “Yet six in seven countries are still led by men.
Women’s representation in national cabinets declined to 22.4 per cent in 2026, after peaking at 23.3 per cent in 2024,” the report said. “The decline is a warning sign that gains cannot be taken for granted, and that progress towards equal political power remains fragile.”
Funding for gender equality has fallen to its lowest level since 2021, the report found. At the same time, 42 per cent of UN agencies reported that their efforts to promote gender equality had been weakened, as a result of budget cuts.
Millions of women also continued to endure some extremely severe forms of violence and discrimination across the globe, the UN said. Nearly one in five girls is married before the age of 18, and nearly one in three women globally have survived partner or sexual violence in their lifetime.
In the past year, 316 million women experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner, the report said.
UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, Li Junhua, said the statistics were not inevitable. “It is the result of choices, made visible through data. Investing in gender equality, institutions, and the statistical systems that hold them to account is not a cost. It is the fastest route back to the 2030 Agenda’s promise of equal power for all.”-GNA
