YIG Begins School Sensitisation Ahead of Pujehun Education Week
Theresa Manneh Youth in Governance (YIG) has commenced sensitisation activities in schools across Pujehun District as part of preparations for its forthcoming Education Week celebration, aimed at promoting education, youth development and student participation.
As part of the activities, the organisation is preparing to host an inter-school football competition, which is scheduled to kick off on 15 November 2026. The competition will bring together students from participating schools across the district, using sports as a platform to promote teamwork, discipline, unity and sportsmanship among young people.
The initiative is also intended to encourage students to take an active part in educational and youth development activities while creating opportunities for them to interact, build positive relationships and showcase their talents outside the classroom. Through the school sensitisation exercise, YIG is engaging participating institutions ahead of the celebration to encourage student involvement and build awareness of the activities planned for Education Week.
The forthcoming celebration is expected to provide a platform for students, schools and communities to engage in activities that promote the importance of education, youth empowerment and community participation across Pujehun District.
The inter-school football competition will form part of the activities leading up to the celebration, bringing students together through sports while reinforcing positive values among young people.
