*LET'S ALL PUT AN END TO CHILD LABOUR - CHRAJ URGES* Tema Regional Director, Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) Madam Fatima Mahani has calls on the citizenry to put an end to child labour and allow the youth to enjoy their growth. She said UNICEF data indicated that , all children in Ghana aged five to 17 years, about 21 per cent were involved in child labour and 14 per cent were engaged in hazardous forms of labour. This was twice as common in rural areas.  “For poorer households, child labour is a negative coping mechanism and most of the children are involved in agriculture and fishing industries. “In all regions, the vast majority of working children are unpaid family workers between the ages of five and seven years,” Madam Mahami stated this during the launch of this year’s World Day Against Child Labour. Social norms also sought to promote the view that many adolescent children should be treated as adults, while poorly enforced legislation and policies to prohibit child labour are impeding the work of advocates against child labour. Tema Regional Director (CHRAJ) , also expressed concern about insufficient allocation of resources for the prevention of and response to child labour, inadequate services to support working children or prevent child labour and family reliance on income generated by children due to extreme poverty.  Mr John Ato Brebor, Senior Principal Investigator at CHRAJ contributing to the discussion said, the government needed to review the social protection policy that would alleviate p

A driver has been found guilty of causing a woman's dead in trailer crash

 *DRIVER GUILTY OF CAUSING MOTHER'S DEATH IN TRAILER CRASH* A driver has been found guilty of causing a mother-of-two's death after a trailer came off his vehicle and collided with her car. Teacher Yvonne, 35, died after the crash on the A948 near Ellon in Aberdeenshire in July 2019. Raymond, 31, denied causing her death by dangerous driving. A jury found him guilty by majority at the High Court in Aberdeen. Sentence was deferred until next month for background reports. After the verdict, Mrs Lumsden's husband said he could tell the couple's two young daughters - now aged seven and nine - that justice had been done. First offender Lamb, of Maud, Aberdeenshire, was also found guilty of causing death while driving without insurance. Judge Watson continued bail, but warned Lamb he had been found guilty of an act of "gross negligence" which caused the death of a young woman with her whole life ahead of her. The trailer detached from Lamb's Mitsubishi before hi...

Reasons why you should marry as a bvirgin

🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷 *10 ADVANTAGES OF MARRYING AS A VIRGIN* 1. People who marry as virgins are more patient with their spouses when things go wrong. This is because virgins have high level of endurance. They are those who mostly practice ''for better or worse'' phrase in the marital vows. 2. Women who marry as virgins are usually submissive, especially if they keep their virginity for the fear of God. A woman who submits to God by keeping her virginity will submit to her husband.

Remedying Unemployment Among School Leavers

  From all indications, the nation's most pressing problem is the high rate of unemployment among school leavers. Caught in the net of this problem are students from both secondary and tertiary institutions. The consolation is that like other problems there are solutions to it. To remedy the high unemployment rate among school leavers, I suggest the following To start with, there is an urgent need to shift from the liberal subjects to technical, vocational or professional courses. Difficult as it is to find employment in the country, students with technical or professional qualification have been remarkably better off than their colleagues who studied the liberal arts. To support this shift, the government should establish more technical and vocational schools and award scholarships to brilliant but needy students. The few technical schools should be equipped and upgraded into polytechnics. this technical and polytechnic institutions will then train the youth for gainful employment...

How to be a good student

  10 HABITS OF SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS Get Organized.  Making a plan for what you're going to do and when you're going to do it will make sure you're always ahead of the curve - literally.  Don't multitask.  Studies have shown that multitasking is physically impossible.  Divide it up.  Studying isn't fun to begin with, and forcing yourself through a study marathon will only make it worse. Dividing your work into manageable chunks and rewarding yourself when you finish each chunk will make studying (more) fun. Sleep.  Don't underestimate the importance of those eight hours of zzz's every night! Getting a good night's rest will sharpen your focus and improve your working memory. Set a schedule.  Do you work better right after school or after you've eaten dinner? Are you more productive in 90-minute blocks or half-hour spurts? Find a schedule that works for you, and stick to it.  Take notes.  Taking notes will not only keep you more engaged dur...
