Haruna Iddrisu, accept the fact that Ghanaians have pissed on that proposal and the best is to cave in. In this 21st century, how can we as a nation, force our children to learn Arabic then what? How good are we with the "Queen's language" let alone add Arabic that seems more difficult than English?

If anyone dares to bring Arabic into our schools, we will fight it with all our might, fools. We can't even write our own language and English properly, so why on earth are you even thinking of bringing Arabic to Ghana?

Mr. Education minister, your Arabic and Chinese whatever is unpopular. Shelve it and spare yourself and the NDC any associated repercussions.

Besides our Official language which is English, no other languages should be made Compulsory to our students. Ghana has no borders and any serious business with any Arab country. Why should Arabic be imposed on Ghanaian students? I would have liked it if it was the French language because all our immediate neighbors speak French. People can be encouraged to study Arabic so that we can understand Arabs and their terrorism so we can know and deal with them.

I support the teaching of Arabic and other languages in our schools, but then you made a very valid point regarding Arabic learning, considering the level of difficulty involved compared to the English language. I guess that's why it's an optional subject for those who have the interest.

it all started few years ago when i received a facebook message that a travel agency in Nigeria was recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for jobs in Canada, i sold everything i had and borrowed money from a lot of people and kept sending them money for the travel to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Nigeria that my visa is ready, when i got to Nigeria they took the remaining money i had on me and seized my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earlier from Ghana, i was left stranded and resorted to sleeping under a bridge with some homeless people and was begging people during the day for help to go back to Ghana, police raided the place i was squatting after some days and arrested everybody there, they took us to court because hard drugs were found on some prostitutes and thugs squatting there, i was sentenced to 2 years in prison because i had no lawyer to defend me, i will finish serving my sentence in 3 months time and sent back to Ghana, my fellow Ghanaians please i need help of any amount of money so i can eat and treat myself, i have been sick and i have not eaten good food for sometime now, i don't want to die now my freedom date is near, no amount of money is too small to help me with, i will appreciate any amount of money sent to me and God will bless and reward the sender abundantly, i can work for the sender when i return to Ghana in 3 months time to pay back, we manage to use smuggled phones here to beg people through facebook and other social media platforms, this is how most prisoners here survive because we are very desperate, the situation here is so terrible, horrible and pathetic, infact we are in hellfire here, people die everyday here from starvation and minor illnesses like malaria and ulcer, please i need help urgently, i need to eat good food and buy malaria drugs to treat myself, the food they give us here is small portions of watery beans and jollof rice that can't satisfy a child, when an inmate is sick here and doesn't have money to buy medication, the prison warders will ignore you until you die or recover without taken medication, they may only give you paracetamol and antibiotics if you cry too much, but if you have money, the prison warders can buy for you good food and medicines from outside, i can be reached on WhatsApp via +2348140725576, this is my cellmate's number, some warders smuggle in phone for people here if you bribe them, i don't have a phone, when you chat, tell her you want to chat with Sandra so she can give the phone to me, please help make my story go viral so i can get help by posting my story and my cellmate's WhatsApp number: +2348140725576 on facebook and WhatsApp groups, please i need help, i'm suffering a lot here.

For the Africa Continental Free Trade Area[?], we must equip our learners with working knowledge of Arabic language (North Africa), Swahili (East Africa), Spanish and Portuguese (E.Guinea G. Bissau, and Mozambique).

It is good our students learn the French language because our neighbors speak the French language. Arabic language can be introduced but should be optional.

Very very unnecessary. The minister must tell us the purpose of learning Arabic in schools in Ghana. Are people in Saudi Arabia learning any Ghanaian language? There's basically something wrong with Ghanaians, anything foreign is better. If we have leaders who can think, why can't they advocate to make one of our GHANAIAN languages the official of the nation. Learning Arabic language as a subject in schools in Ghana is irrelevant.

Learning Arabic for what? Can our children able to read and write in English, which is our national language? You want to slowly impose your religion on the States? It's unfortunate, not in this modern era. Have we successfully finished developing our local languages? Can every Ghanaian student truly write or read fluently in our own local languages?

Apart from wishing to indoctrinate your adherents to kill the rest of us "kaffirs" or infidels as you refer to non-muslims, why have you and John Mahama brought SIX THOUSAND Arabic teachers into the country? WHY? WHY? WHY? How many of you ignorant Ghanaians know that the Quran tells Muslims to crosscheck with the Torah and the Injil (the Christian gospels), yet in that same Quran Christians and Jews are called "the worst of creatures"? What a contradiction in terms! This beloved nation that claims secularism WAS SHAPED BEAUTIFULLY ON JUDEO-CHRISTIAN principles which are more accommodating and embracing than the segregationist tendencies of this ....... Let Yahweh arise!

I can understand why the NDC as a party and the President is allowing Haruna to destroy their prospects. No problem you guys should underestimate our intelligence and the dislike of what you are doing, but be careful you don't regret since we prone to hating the NDC for good if you guys refuse to put a stop to what you guys are doing ( John and the NDC), be careful
Leave us to enjoy our peace of mind.
In any case, what is so special about Chinese and Arabic languages?

Just do away with that language from our schools. We don't need it. I can not imagine that this is a guy who is also aspiring to become our next President.

I think Adutwum had better plans for that ministry. This guy luvs mosque more than maths and science. I now understand why there's no meaningful development in the North. Even their own well educated sons know nothing beyond mosque. Is this what you want to do to Wesley Girls? Why do I get the feeling moslems capture rather than building? Well this minister must forget about becoming a president. There will be mosques in all public institutions even including the Jubilee House.

Minister stop that no plan to make Arabic compulsory nonesense. How can a young class one or two child have the intuitions to know what is compulsory for them or not ecen as they become adventurous at such tender ages? Or do you expect christian parents to be rushing to schools each time there is Arabic lessons to prompt Arabic teachers not to include their children in Arabic lesdons and where should the children be until the Arabic lesson ends?

What is the agenda? What agenda are you pushing in Ghana ? Ghanaians live in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Russia name them, do we then have to have all those languages in our schools? Even in Arab countries, most speak English. What break throughs and innovations have come out from the study of Arabic language globally apart from what they are not for?

Today, we are emphasizing Science, Technology and Mathematics education and Israel, Jews and the Jewish state are noted for major major innovations and technology breakthroughs. Most of the advances in technology today is as a result of Jews globally
Israel is aglobal technology giant. If it is about STEM education, why dont we renodel our educational system around the Israeli and Jews concept of in̈novation?

What can Arabic language add to the Ghanaian christian in the Roman Catholic. Presbyterian. Anglican, Methodist schools?

If the not compulsory mantra is anything to go by, how cant you introduce the Arabic language in the universities where adults who are well matured at least 18 years can decide for themselves?

Why do you want to indoctrinate our young and vulnersble christian young boys and girls and for which purpose?
