Event summary

Highlights

  • Theatrical competition featuring eight Senior High Schools from the Sekondi-Takoradi area.
  • Student performances focused on social issues like drug abuse and mental health.
  • Regional qualifier for the National Students’ Drama Festival Finals in Accra.
Organized by the Western Regional Centre for National Culture (CNC) in partnership with the Ghana Education Service (GES), STUDRAFEST 2026 is a theatrical platform designed for youth. The festival encourages students to develop skills in public speaking, teamwork, and creative expression while addressing contemporary themes through the performing arts.

During the 2026 event, eight schools within the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis competed, including Ahantaman Girls, Fijai, and St John’s School. The performances focused on critical issues such as drug abuse, mental health, the influence of new media, and climate change. These original plays are intended to reflect Ghanaian values and provide a youthful perspective on national traditions.

The competition serves as a preliminary round for broader recognition, with the top-performing school earning the opportunity to represent the Western Region at the National Students’ Drama Festival Finals in Accra. In the 2026 edition, Ahantaman Girls’ SHS emerged as the winners.
