Formal education is key to qualifying for the Miss Ghana beauty pageant, the CEO of Exclusive Events, the franchise company for the pageant, Ms Inna Patty, has disclosed in an interview on Class91.3FM’s morning show on Monday, 28 March 2022.
The Miss Ghana organiser noted that formal education was necessary for a beauty queen to enable her to market Ghana to foreign investors if need be.
Speaking to Kofi Oppong Asamoah on the qualification criteria, Ms Patty stated that the “minimum has to be, at least, a secondary school leaver because you’ll need to be able to articulate.”
- Education Ministry website down for weeks.
- Kajebi, JICA and GES have formed the SMC Federation Board to improve educational standard.
Explaining the rationale, she said, “For example, you’re Miss Ghana; when you cross the shores of Ghana, doors open for you just for the fact that you’re Miss Ghana – whether it’s diplomatic, whether it’s what have you, it does open, so, you’re supposed to be an ambassador for your country when you meet top business gurus, global politicians, what have you, and they want to know about your country. You should be able to talk a little about politics, investments, culture, tourism, what have you, so, if you’re not articulate enough, how are you going to sell Ghana?
“Who wants a bimbo?” she quizzed, answering: “No one.”
“Gone are the days when people were just happy to see a pretty face but now people want to know behind that beauty, what else is there; it’s a powerful combination, it’s a powerful tool…” she added.
This year’s Miss Ghana event was launched on 10 March 2022.
The one-off audition will take place on April 2, 2022, at the Tang Palace Hotel in Accra.
To qualify for the contest, one must be between the ages of 18 and 26 years old.
