The President's Independence Day Awards honouring 52 awardees, including 32 students from public schools, 16 from private schools, and four students with hearing and visual impairments for their outstanding performance in the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) is underway.

The event is happening at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).

Ghana will mark its 68th Independence Day tomorrow, March 6, with a scaled-down national celebration in Accra, specifically at the forecourt of the Presidency, instead of the usual Independence Square.

This decision is part of the government’s efforts to reduce costs while still honouring the country’s historic milestone.

This year’s theme, “Reflect, Review, Reset,” underscores the need for national introspection as Ghana navigates its current socio-economic landscape. The Presidency has also unveiled an official logo for the occasion, symbolizing the country’s resilience and aspirations for the future.
