The Krachi East Municipal office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has partnered with the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) to educate school children on road safety measures in the area.
The initiative, which targets Basic school students, aims to instill a culture of road safety among young people. The programme focuses on teaching student’s basic road safety rules, pedestrian discipline and the proper use of road infrastructure.
Inspector Zakaria Asharaf and General Lance Corporal, Mr. Emmanuel Owusu Ampong conducted practical demonstrations on safe road crossing techniques, while Madam Sahadatu Salifu and Mr. Paul Datsomor from NCCE educated students on their rights and responsibilities as road users.
The MTTD cautioned students not to judge a vehicle by its speed before crossing the road, emphasizing the importance of being vigilant and aware of their surroundings.
The NCCE and MTTD distributed road safety educational materials to the students, including leaflets and posters. The materials highlighted the dangers of reckless behaviour on the road and provided tips on how to stay safe while walking or crossing the road.
