In a bid to commemorate the 68th Independence Anniversary Celebrations, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced plans to hold parades in all Districts, Municipalities, and Metropolitan Education Directorates across the country.
This was disclosed in a letter signed by Prof. Ernest Kofi Davis, Director-General of the GES, and addressed to all Regional Directors of Education.
According to the letter, the climax of the celebrations will take place on Thursday, March 6, 2025, at the Fore Court of the Jubilee House in Accra, under the theme “68th Independence Anniversary Celebration: Reflect, Review, Reset”.
However, unlike previous years, this year’s celebration will witness an abridged form of parade at the Fore Court of the Jubilee House, instead of a large-scale event where the President inspects a Guard of Honor mounted by the Ghana Armed Forces.
The GES has entreated Regional Directors of Education to inform District, Municipal, and Metropolitan Directors of Education to liaise with the various Assemblies to organize successful parades in their respective areas.
This move is aimed at ensuring that school children across the country participate in the celebrations, which are primarily intended for them.
The Ghana Education Service has a long history of promoting patriotism and national pride among students.
In the past, the service has organized various events and activities to commemorate Independence Day, including parades, quizzes, and essay competitions.
