Give the schools back to the churches. I attended a very disciplined catholic school but government took over later. Since the take over, everything has been in a mess. Discipline, academic performance, maintenance etc. Gover ...

I don't understand why the government came to manage mission schools. Government does not run anything good except enacting laws and making sure of the security of the country.
This is a very good suggestion that will help ...

Was it deliberate or it was a matter of forgetfulness that the contribution of the Catholic Church in Ghana to education was not mentioned by Re Dr Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong? When he was giving examples of mission schools, he co ...

I SUPPORT THIS IDEA ONE HUNDRED PERCENT
The so-called Rev Dr Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong must have intentionally refused to list these renowned Catholic schools. Which cave has he been living in in Ghana not to realize the impact schools like Augusco and Owass have had ...

The government of Ghana cannot manage anything, and that is why everything is fallen apart in the country including schools.
Can the church pay salaries?

Churches will have to take from Students and some subsidies from the State. In the long run the State and the students are the beneficiaries of a superior education and disciplined citizens.
The Church and the school can ...

a dumb idea
The churches can manage the schools better with little government subsidies. This will help the government to cut down on its educational expenses. Churches like Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian etc can get support from thei ...

This is a very good idea. Returning Ghanaian schools will ensure discipline, instill moral values to our kids and the standard of education will be higher than what we have now. The parliamentarians may not see ...

May the Almighty God Bless the Christian Council of Ghana for this suggestion. Moral values are down and must be resurrected to bring the country nearer to God. New churches which did not have some of these schools must be ...

Dr Opuni-Frimpong is obviously happy with his Christian brainwashing. He is happy that his ancestors have made no contribution to the spiritual, legal, political, etc knowledge stock of the world. He is happy to pray for Dail ...

ENOUGH OF THE STUPID COMMENTS!THE AUTHOR HAS RAISED A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE WHICH HAS TO BE DISCUSSED WITH AN OPEN MIND.EDUCATION HAS GONE TO THE DOGS IN GHANA SINCE GOVT TOOK OVER THE SCHOOLS!
The state should not have taken the schools in the first place. There was no good reason for that action. I attended a Methodist elementary, S.D.A high school experienced both very good educational and moral transformation. G ...

G.K, I don't understand your point here. Opuni is not asking the government to return all schools to the Churches but those that were mission schools.
You said it will be the same people running the government schools that ...

Well said. Government do not run anything well and that is why all these schools are becoming dilapidated.
Right now, no law prohibits the Mission Schools from establishing their own Schools. If the Christian Council has the resources to do so, let it do that without taking over what the Government controls.
The idea that Pub ...

The EP Church of Ghana NEVER had any educational institution. They only managed to steal some of the mother EP church chapels, and not educational institutions. Please take note.
Let me add also that Schools in Sweden, Singapore and China, for example, are not run by Religious Institutions yet they are at the very top of Global student performance rating.
The mere absence of strong checks and bala ...

You are missing the point, it is not because public school systems are bad, it is because the government of Ghana, sucks, they cannot manage anything well. Of course, public schools are the majority of schools in Western/capi ...

The plead did not place the emphasis on private versus Public Education. It asked that the Schools be handed over to The Churches who used to run them.
Meanwhile, are you resigning into the belief that Ghana as a Nation c ...

You are definitely wrong. Churches introduced education in Ghana and ran more secondary schools in the 50's than the government. Churches continue to run some of the best universities and high schools around the world like No ...

THIS MAN IS CRAZY,BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GET SEX IN THE ANUS SO YOU WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO TRANSFER IT TO THE CATHOLICS AND ANGLICAN
This people are in for money, look at the way the are handling churches nowadays, if the want their schools then they should prepare to pay their teachers.
will this management include paying of teachers' salaries? If yes, will they be able to pay? will pupil/students in these schools pay for tuition? COME CLEAR TO ENABLE THE PUBLIC CON TRIBUTE TO THE DEBATE.
God has blessed the PORTION of Land now called Ghana with ENOUGH to KICK-START REAL DEVELOPMENT.
The citizens are STUPID and Lazy!
Good call.
AM IN SUPPORT TO THAT. LET THE GOV RETURN ALL MISSIONS SCHOOLS TO THE CHURCHES. GOV TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEIR LOCAL GOV BUILT SCHOOLS, AS EVEN BEING DONE IN THE USA, WE HAVE LOCAL & MISSION SCHOOLS.IF GHANA HAD PRIVATE SCHO ...

GOOD POINT BUT WILL THE CHURCH PAY TEACHER'S SALARY?
Sick and Confused Nation,always going back and forth !.
You are absolutely correct about that. The churches will do much better. But the governemt must infuse cash to them to transition to them to help reorganize its structures.
