The Ministry of Education has expressed profound grief over the drowning of seven students from Lawra Senior High School in a canoe accident on the Black Volta River on Saturday June 14, 2025.
In a press statement signed by Deputy Minister Dr.
Clement Abas Apaak, the Ministry confirmed that the students-five girls and two boys-were part of a group of ten cadet corps members who attempted to cross the river near Dikpe during a morning jogging exercise.
The canoe capsized midway, resulting in the tragic incident. "We are deeply shocked and saddened by this heartbreaking loss," said Dr.
