Dr William Amankra Appiah, Ashanti Regional Director of Education, has stressed the need to actively involve young people in decisions affecting education delivery.
He said the energies of the youth, their creativity and prospectives were crucial in creating an education system that empowered individuals and transformed societies.
Speaking at the 2026 celebration of the International Day of Education at Obuasi in the Ashanti Region, Dr Appiah pointed out that the involvement of young people in decision making in education would make them relevant to society.
He mentioned the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Foundation as one of the interventions that had transformed education in the Ashanti Region and beyond and called on all stakeholders to take keen interest in education to enhance quality delivery.
Nana Addai Gyamera, Feyiasehene, said the future of education should not be delivered to young people, but must be built with them.
This way, the youth would sustain what they have built and improve upon them in the future.
This year’s celebration was on the theme: “The Power of Youth in Co-Creating Education. “
Nana Gyamera said the future of the youth was not only about classrooms examination and certificates, but with innovation and possibilities.
He said young people were now co-creators to education and leaders in formation, adding that children were now being taught not only to pass examination but were being prepared to be custodians of the nation and improve upon what they inherited.
They attend school with purpose, respect learning space, respect authority and their peers.
Madam Elaine Oppong Peprah, Administrator of the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Foundation, pledged the Foundation‘s commitment to support education and help nurture children to be innovative and agents of change.
She called on stakeholders to not relent on supporting to nurture the next generation.
Mr Kwaku Oppong Amponsah, Chief Executive of Adwinsa Publications, donated 2,500 assorted reading books to the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Foundation to support education delivery.
AngloGold Ashanti, also presented some books to students at the ceremony. –GNA

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
