• Key provisions include unilateral US power to build military structures, permanent access and overflight rights, and a ban on non-NATO adversaries (like Russia and China) from military presence or sensitive investments in Greenland.
• The deal also stipulates it would remain valid even if Greenland gains independence and acknowledges Greenland's sovereignty and right to self-determination.
• Greenland's vast, untapped rare earth mineral reserves were cited as a strategic interest for US defense, particularly against threats from Russia and China.

• The Ghana Education Service (GES) has directed Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHTSs) to stop refusing duly admitted boarding students based on the type of personal storage container they bring.
• This directive follows reports of schools turning away students for not conforming to specific storage requirements, such as metal trunks or wooden chop boxes.
• GES emphasizes that such practices place unnecessary financial pressure on parents and guardians, particularly those who cannot afford specific brands or types of items.
• Students must be treated fairly and accommodated without discrimination based on their economic circumstances or ability to purchase particular personal effects, provided containers are reasonably sized and safe.
• Heads of schools failing to comply with this directive will face investigation and potential action from GES Management.
