The founder and General Overseer of the Christian Action Faith Ministries, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams has said Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) for children should be handled by parents and families.
“When it comes to sex education, let families, parents determine how that should be handled and it should be in the hands of the parent, and the Church also must take a stand when it comes to sex education of what we believe.
“My belief is based on scripture, my belief has nothing to do with what anybody intends to do or what anybody is saying, my belief is simply what the Bible says,” Archbishop Duncan-Williams said in an interview on Accra-based Joy FM on Friday, 4 October 2019.
His comments come on the back of the ongoing debate about the introduction of CSE into the curricula of basic schools. Christian and Islamic clerics, as well as civil society organisations and Ghanaians on social media expressed outrage about initial reports of the inclusion of CSE into the curricula describing it as “satanic” and a pro-LGBT agenda.
Meanwhile, Ghana’s Minister of Education, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh (Napo) has refuted claims that CSE has been introduced into the curricula of basic schools. Dr Prempeh said at a press conference on Tuesday, 1 October 2019 that: “The curriculum framework (KG-P6) approved by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) for use in the development of school curriculum, which has been approved by Cabinet and published does not include CSE”.
Despite the denials, pressure group OccupyGhana said it has sighted several documents that contradict the position of the Education Minister and, therefore, wants the government to state its position on the CSE.
The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) at a press conference also said the mere suspension of CSE is not enough and is demanding a total withdrawal.

If the government wants to implement any other syllabus why not consider proper provision for lT technicians which will be more beneficial than this CSE. This whole CSE is the introduction of LGBT agenda. Let's wise up and not be ***barred word***. They said they will give training to qualify teachers. All such teachers are guys. PERIOD!!! This wouldn't help anything. Let push, encourage, and provide more of IT technicians and resources. With that, Ghana's economy will grow. The layman will get their daily bread.
Dear political leaders of Ghana please find a place in your heart or a minute of your time to read the holy bible once in a blue moon. Leviticus 19:29 ► Parallel Verses King James Version Do not ***barred word*** thy daughter, to cause her to be a ***barred word***; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
Our leaders it is written in the book of Leviticus 19:29 Do not ***barred word*** thy daughter, to cause her to be a ***barred word***; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness..
God let your days be few on this earth anyone who support this evil agenda to destroy the fabric of our nation Ghana.
State has no role in teaching morals to kids? Then why do we have public schools or state sponsored programs for kids? If the state has no role then what a heck do we demand the state to build schools, hospitals etc? Cmon folks, let’s not be blinded by our political lenses. Let’s view some of these as pragmatists.
GOD BLESS YOU, MAN OF GOD. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PARENTS AND FAMILIES TO TEACH FAITH BASED TOPICS AND MORAL ISSUES TO THEIR CHILDREN.LET THE STATE HANDLE THE OTHER STUFFS.
