    GHANAian,you are one of those who need to use your COMMON SENSE. Students at the school are not only Christians but both.

    WHEN DID A CHRISTIAN HEAD ISLAMIC SCHOOL?

  • OZA 9 years ago

    I join hands with you to ask the same question. Give me ONE christian who is the head of any Moslim institution in Ghana. You want to talk about rights and fairness? The Christians are the victims in my opinion.

  • frank Agyena-Karikari 9 years ago

    How do you post a moslem to head a Methodist school? It just will not work. Can a non catholic head St. Peters school at Koforidua?

    Muslims will always complain and demand a change in the status quo in missionary schools even though they willingly apply for admissions in those schools. I think the fears of the methodist church is genuine . Islamic schools ...

    Thanks Nabia, I am only expressing my views. If Catholics get schools for the blind, Anglicans get some, Muslims get some, all the best for Ghana. But the question is can a Christian head a Muslim institution? Why do you thin ...

    Really, how can a blind person(man or woman) administer an institution, more so that of fellow blind persons?
    Let us be realistic!

    Why can a blind person not administer an institution?
