‘The Literacy Challenge’ is a nationwide educational campaign that promotes literacy in Ghana.
This year, interested participants wrote an essay on the topic: “As an aspiring presidential candidate, in not less than 600 words, write a convincing manifesto speech that is intended to fix the country and to bring hope in political governance.”
Thousands of entries were received by the deadline for submission, and external examiners helped to shortlist 50 people.
For more than two months, a team from Citi FM toured various schools as part of efforts to encourage them to Participate in the 2021 edition of The Literacy Challenge.
The competition is powered by 97.3 Citi FM, with support from Citi TV.
The Literacy Challenge is sponsored by SIC Insurance and the Vodafone Ghana Foundation as part of the Kindred Partners.
