Afadzato South: Mrs. Ellen Adzo Amankwa, the Afadzato South District Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), has urged students to embrace core Ghanaian values such as patriotism, honesty, tolerance, and discipline.

Mrs. Amankwa advised the students to uphold truth, resist examination malpractice, and act with integrity in all aspects of life. She emphasized that children, as future leaders, should not only benefit from national policies but also
serve as stewards of peace, environmental custodians, and co-creators of inclusive communities. She challenged them to work collaboratively to shape a Ghana defined by unity, sustainability, and civic integrity.

The Director also encouraged learners to be agents of change who positively influence society and maintain cleanliness in their school surroundings. Ms. Jamima Enanyo Akudeka, a staff member of the Afadzato South District Office of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), also addressed the students.
