The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, through the Department of Children, will commemorate the 2024 Day of the African Child on Thursday, June 20, 2024.
This annual event honors the students of Soweto, South Africa, who protested against segregation and ill-treatment of black children in schools.
Established in 1991 by the Organization of African Unity (now the African Union), the event promotes the recognition of children’s rights at all levels.
The 2024 theme, “Education for all children in Ghana: Improving access for all,” aims to elevate the discussion on children’s right to education and to identify measures ensuring every child benefits from quality education.
