The National Leadership of the Ghana Muslim Mission has taken a keen interest in the ongoing debate on mainstream media as well as social media platforms, about a purported attempt by the Ghana Education Service to introduce “Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE)” into the education curriculum, starting from age four (4).

It’s gratifying to hear His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo make a definite statement that, he will not allow anything such as ‘Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE)’ that will destroy the moral values of our society, to be introduced into our educational system.

This comes in addition to the statement by the Hon. Minister of Education, Mathew Opoku Prempeh and the Ghana Education Service, that there is nothing like ‘Comprehensive Sexuality Education’ in the curriculum.

We thank Allah for listening to our prayers and we also thank His Excellency the President for re-assuring the citizenry and allaying our fears.

We will urge the Ghana Education Service to take further steps to ensure that any document or related activity on ‘Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE)’ in our educational system is totally struct out.

As stakeholders in Islamic Education in the country, we would not agree to any changes that will affect our Islamic principles on morality as well as the general cultural norms of our country that frown on certain sexuality inappropriate behaviors as well as immorality.

We further request the Ghana Education Service to always engage in broader consultations with all stakeholders to discuss very sensitive issues that concern Education

Thank you

Sheikh Dr Amin Bonsu (National Chairman)
