Galaxy International and Local Schools Achieve Academic Excellence in International and Civic Competitions

Ghanaian students have demonstrated exceptional academic prowess and civic dedication in June 2026, recording significant victories in both international and domestic arenas. While Galaxy International School secured a historic medal haul at the Owlypia International Competition in London, local basic schools within the Korle Klottey Municipality showcased their deep understanding of the 1992 Constitution during the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) Constitution Quiz. These dual achievements highlight a robust educational landscape in Ghana that balances global competitiveness with a strong foundation in national values and governance. On the international stage, Galaxy International School made history at the Owlypia International Competition held in London. Represented by a record 52 participants, the school clinched a staggering 41 medals, comprising 16 gold, 18 silver, and 7 bronze. Individual standouts included William Kofi Owusu Opong and Maryam Ruzmetova, who received top honors for their exceptional intellect. This performance not only underscored the school's commitment to academic rigor but also showcased Ghana's potential to nurture innovative young leaders capable of competing at the highest global levels. Locally, the NCCE Korle Klottey Municipal Office concluded its Constitution Week celebrations with a rigorous quiz competition aimed at fostering civic responsibility among basic school students. Liberty Avenue Two Basic School emerged as the overall winner, followed by All Saints Basic School in second place, while Adabraka Presbyterian and St. Barnabas Anglican Basic Schools shared the third position. The competition specifically tested students on various sections of the 1992 Constitution, including Chapter 19, challenging them to apply legal and civic knowledge to real-world contexts. Beyond the trophies and medals, these events served as platforms for critical mentorship and development. NCCE Municipal Director Mr. Jonathan E. Nii Adjiri Sackey utilized the local platform to urge students toward the responsible use of digital platforms, emphasizing that constitutional knowledge must be paired with ethical behavior in the digital age. Collectively, these successes suggest that Ghana's educational efforts are successfully preparing a new generation of citizens who are both globally minded and deeply rooted in the democratic principles of their nation.
