CSE: Let’s pray for Mathew Opoku Prempeh – NDC activist

The Central Regional Deputy Youth Organizer of the NDC, Mr Bright Botchway is calling on Ghanaians to “fast and pray” for Ghana’s Education Minister, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh after a move by government to introduce into the education system - Comprehensive Sexuality Education [CSE].

He claimed the minster “has not been honest, truthful to religious bodies of this country especially to church leaders because he lied to them in a meeting regarding the Comprehensive Sexuality Education which has already been planned.”

“I thought he [Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh] is a good Christian and know the implications of what he is introducing into the education system.” He said in an interview Kasoa based radio station

The NDC communication team member also described Mathew Opoku Prempeh as “Ghana’s worst education minister” – adding that, “He has created a lot of mess with our education system.”

Beginning next year, pupils in all public schools, including 4-year-olds will be given Comprehensive Sexuality Education. Officials say the subject content would be age-appropriate and empower pupils with values that would protect them from sexual harassment.

But the programme has come under intense criticism receiving bashing from a section of the public including church leaders with many describing it as a deliberate attempt to introduce homosexuality to Ghana.

Mr. Botchway who is unhappy with the new subject noted that the Nana Addo led government has failed with all he promised to do with Ghana’s education system.

“People are following free things and risking their future.” He said
