The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), in partnership with the Ghana Education Service (GES) and Ulster University in the United Kingdom, has commenced preparation for a two-week intensive workshop aimed at developing a comprehensive fire safety education curriculum for basic schools across the country.
The workshop is scheduled to take place from June 11 to 20, 2025, bringing together key stakeholders from education, emergency services, academia, and international partners under a unified mission; to inculcate the values of fire safety and emergency preparedness in school children through a structured curriculum.
In a press release dated June 11, 2025, it said the programme was officially opened by the Acting Chief Fire Officer (AG CFO) Daniella Mawusi Ntow Sapong, who emphasised the significance of early fire safety awareness in shaping a fire-conscious generation. "This initiative is a bold and timely response to the growing need for early fire safety awareness.
The introduction of the structured fire education in our schools will empower the next generation to protect themselves, their families, and their communities," she noted.
