The purpose of this study therefore is to support national efforts to eliminate worst forms of galamsey among School dropouts in artisanal gold mining (galamsey) in Ghana.
In view of the aforementioned problems, the researcher sought to investigate further and bring to bear the dangers of school dropouts engagement in galamsey activities and the impact of awareness creation through the use of illustrated booklets and flyers in an attempt to curb galamsey among school dropouts.
From a student's perspective I say to influence someone it will take more than just giving them booklets. To influence a student one has to make them interested in what is being offered and this can start by making them more participative in practical stuff and learning how mining is done by showing them practically at a training centre or mine. Unfortunately almost 90% of the students and dropouts will not read the booklet but will be more corporative if they are involved practically.
