Professor Kofi Agyekum, popularly known as Opanyin Agyekum says it will be wrong to teach sexual education at a very young age.

According to him, it will be best to imbibe in such children Christian values as well as the country’s tradition and customs.

His comment comes on the back of controversies that have arisen following the alleged inclusion of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in the education system.

Ghanaians are speaking against the fact that the introduction of CSE is a subtle way of indoctrinating pupils on homosexuality.

Even though the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education have denied the fact the CSE has been included in the curriculum, the debate continues.

Adding his voice to the debate on Peace FM's morning show ‘Kokrokoo’, Opanyin Agyekum said: “whether it is a proposal or not any addition to our curriculum must be in sync with our customs and traditions. Apart from that, it will be wrong to start sexual education at this early stage. It’s better to instill Christian values, customs and traditions in them than this new proposal.”
