The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) launched the second edition of the University Civic Challenge with an attractive package for the winner.
This year, the country's top universities will compete for the coveted group stage prize to the final.
Joséphine Nkrumah, director of the NCCE, explained the logic of this competition by considering students in higher education as an important part of society, which must be systematically involved in national development issues.
"So, through several strategies, we have always sought to involve [tertiary] students in our activities [from] 2001 to understand our national values to promote national unity, "she said Tuesday at the launch of the 2nd University Civic Challenge.
The University Civic Challenge is in its second year with the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) as the reigning champion.
But this year's competition has been expanded to include 20 schools that will compete for the first prize.
Describing 2019 academic civic education as "another exciting journey," Ms. Nkrumah said the commission would continue to give priority to students because of their place in history.
"Young people are the prestige of posterity … and I am convinced that the participants [of the University Civic Challenge] will be properly equipped to make changes in [their communities], "she added.
The NCCE President took the opportunity to appreciate the efforts of her two badistants, Samuel Akuamoah and Kathy Addy.
The 2019 University Civic Challenge is co-sponsored by the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and the National Communications Authority (NCA).
