The Youth Against Corruption (YAC) team engaged about a 100 sstudents of Presbyterian Boys' Senior High School (PRESEC) in a highly interactive session on issues of governance and accountability.

The forum created space for open discussion and spirted debate on what constitutes corruption and how it manifests in everyday settings. Using real-life scenarios, the YAC team prompted students to reflect on ethical decision-making, responsibility, and the importance of integrity in leadership.

A key moment during the engagement was the introduction of the Youth Against Corruption initiative, a programme run in partnership with the Odadie Rotary Club through its network of Interact Clubs across Senior High Schools in Ghana. Students expressed strong interest in joining the movement, with many signing up immediately after the presentation.

The team also highlighted the significance of whistleblowing, stressing its role as a crucial mechanism for promoting transparency and strengthening good governance. Facilitators explained how young people can responsibly contribute to a more accountable society.

During the Q&A session, students posed probing questions on corruption and ongoing investigations by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), reflecting a clear awareness of current national issues. A number of students remained after the session to seek further clarification and explore topics raised during the discussion.

School authorities described the outreach as impactful. PRESEC’s Headmaster, Mr. David Odjidja, thanked the YAC team and extended an invitation for future engagements, including an appearance at the upcoming prefects’ swearing‑in ceremony and other schoolwide programmes.

The event emphasised the rising commitment among Ghanaian youth to understand and challenge corruption.
