Initially, Glorious Pearls and Holy Child tied for second place. To break the tie, additional questions were posed to the two schools, after which Glorious Pearls took second place while Holy Child placed third.
Jamverson School took the first prize with 29 points.
In his speech, Mr Emmanuel Adotey Allotey, the Municipal Chief Executive of Ga Central Municipal Assembly, encouraged the pupils to take the study of the constitution seriously, describing it as an important tool for nation building.
He also praised the NCCE for their dedication to Civic Education, despite the limited resources.
In her remarks, the Municipal Director of NCCE, Madam Mary Dagba, expressed her gratitude to the MCE and the Ga Central Municipal Assembly for the continuous support.
She thanked the participating schools, their patrons, the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the entire staff of the NCCE, and the moderator of the quiz, Mr Wisdom Ofori, for their collective efforts in making the programme a success.
