Chalom Hights, in partnership with the Girl Child Education Unit of the Ejisu Municipality under the Ministry of Education, has organised ElevateHer Mass Mentorship Programme, for Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) students across the Municipality.
The multi-faceted initiative brought together young girls in an engaging and transformative learning environment.
A statement issued in Accra said it was designed to equip them with forward-looking knowledge and practical skills essential for their personal and professional development.
The programme was delivered in two distinct phases, combining theoretical exposure with hands-on training to ensure a holistic learning experience for participants.
The first phase focused on thought leadership and awareness-building, introducing students to emerging global concepts such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and its relevance in today’s evolving digital landscape.
It said participants were guided on how to leverage technology to their advantage, while also gaining valuable insights into the importance of maintaining focus, discipline, and intentionality at a critical stage in their academic and personal journeys.
The statement indicated that the second phase transitioned into practical skills development, where participants were introduced to creative vocational skills including beads and fascinators making.
This component was aimed at nurturing entrepreneurial thinking, creativity, and self-reliance among the students, equipping them with tools to create value both immediately and in the future.
It said the students also benefited from the contribution of Ms Abigail Boakye, a teacher in the Ejisu Municipality, and the 2025 Best Differentiated Learning Teacher.
She played a key role in supporting the organisation of the initiative and engaged directly with students, sharing practical insights on adaptive learning, personal development, and the importance of embracing individual strengths within the educational journey.
It said a dedicated session was organised for female teachers within the municipality on the theme: ‘Give to Gain.’
The session created a reflective and empowering space for educators to explore the impact of mentorship, leadership, and intentional investment in others.
Participants were encouraged to recognise the value of nurturing the next generation while embracing continuous personal and professional growth.
Ms Rita Adu Boateng, Founder of Chalom Hights, underscored the importance of early mentorship and exposure.
“At Chalom Hights, we believe that empowering young girls goes beyond inspiration. It requires equipping them with the right knowledge, mindset, and practical skills,” she underlined.
“Through ElevateHer, we are intentionally shaping a generation of young women who are confident, focused, and prepared to take on leadership roles in the future,” she added.
Addressing the female teachers, she underscored the transformative power of giving, noting that the influence of educators extended far beyond the classroom.
“When you give your time, your knowledge, and your guidance, you are not only shaping individual lives, but you are also building a legacy,” she stated.
Ms Rita Korley, Programmes Director of Chalom Hights, said “This programme is designed to bridge the gap between knowledge and application.”
She noted by combining digital awareness with hands-on skills training, they were ensuring that these young girls were not only informed but also empowered to take actionable steps towards building sustainable and successful futures. –GNA

Attorney-General to introduce new bill to regulate discipline of lawyers

The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced plans to introduce a new Bill to strengthen the legal framework for the discipline of lawyers in Ghana.
In an address read on his behalf by the Deputy Attorney-General at the opening of the 2026 Conference of the Ghana Bar Association, Dr. Ayine disclosed that the Bill is headed to Cabinet for review and approval before being laid before Parliament.
The proposed law, to be called the Legal Profession (Practitioners Standards Board) Bill, is expected to transform and strengthen the regulatory framework for disciplining lawyers to safeguard the rights of practitioners and promote public confidence in the profession.
According to the Attorney-General, when passed, the Bill will establish an independent Disciplinary Committee with clear rules of procedure and proposals on proportionate sanctions.
He explained that this marks a progressive departure from the existing framework where the Disciplinary Committee both investigates and adjudicates complaints. The Bill also proposes clear and strict procedural timelines for resolving grievances to avert prolonged deliberations that frustrate both clients and lawyers.
Secondly, Dr. Ayine noted that under the current framework, Superior Court judges sit on the Disciplinary Committee whose decisions, as quasi-judicial decisions, are subject to reviews and appeals in the same courts where these judges preside.
The new Bill seeks to eliminate this conflict of interest by creating a separately constituted Board composed of lay non-lawyers and professional representatives with guaranteed tenure.
The Attorney-General added that the Bill seeks to separate professional discipline from executive, judicial or competitive interference to ensure that disciplinary mechanisms are not weaponized against lawyers by clients, the Bench, or the State.
The introduction of the new law forms part of efforts by the Attorney-General to introduce reforms into the legal profession aimed at revolutionizing legal practice and training. It follows the passage of the Legal Education Act, 2026, which is currently at the implementation stage.

Gov’t did not approve market near school — Stan Dogbe clears air on Ahafo Ano South market siting

Deputy Chief of Staff, Stan Xoese Dogbe has reacted to a viral video raising concerns about the siting of a market close to a school in the Ahafo Ano South District of the Ashanti Region.
In a post responding to the video, Mr. Dogbe said he has been in contact with the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, who he said is on top of the situation and has long since halted the construction process.
According to him, the decision to designate the said land near the school for the market was not a government decision.
“Once the development was brought to the RCC’s attention, the regional minister immediately asked that the process be stopped,” he stated.
Mr. Dogbe explained that the community currently has no available land space for the construction of the model market, which necessitated their choice of the location near the school.
He noted however that the community has been asked to find another, more suitable piece of land for the project to commence.
“We thank all for the interest in developmental issues in our communities,” he added.
