The Minority in Parliament has called for a full investigation into the development and sponsorship of Ghana’s current school curriculum, following concerns over content it describes as promoting LGBTQ issues.
Speaking at a press conference, Old Tafo MP Vincent Ekow Assafuah urged Parliament to examine how such materials were included in teaching manuals and to hold accountable those responsible within the education oversight system.
He criticised the government’s handling of the matter, highlighting the long-delayed Anti-LGBTQ bill. “While the NDC took a strong position on this bill in opposition, it has yet to see it passed into law,” he said.
According to the Minority, the inclusion of what it terms pro-gay content represents a covert attempt to advance an agenda not approved by Parliament or accepted by Ghanaian society.
The caucus is demanding the complete removal of LGBTQ-related materials from the national curriculum and has called for sanctions against the leadership of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA), citing poor oversight and avoidable costs following the withdrawal and revision of the affected manuals.
“The integrity of Ghana’s education system must be safeguarded,” Mr. Assafuah added. “Curriculum reforms should reflect national values and legislative approval.”
