Through the School Clubs Initiative, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), in partnership with the Patents and Companies Registration Agency (PACRA), Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), jointly conducted an insightful engagement with learners at Silverest Secondary School.

The engagement aimed to equip pupils with knowledge on consumer rights and responsibilities, smart spending habits and the importance of making informed financial and investment decisions. The institutions highlighted the need for young people to understand how the marketplace operates, how to identify unfair trading practices, and how to assert their rights as consumers.

During the session, the various institutions shared their respective mandates and explained how their work contributes to protecting consumers and ensuring transparency and fairness in the business environment.

The joint engagement is in line with this year’s World Consumer Rights Day commemoration under the theme “Safe Products, Confident Consumers,” reinforcing the collective commitment to promote consumer safety, awareness, and confidence in the marketplace.
