  Christlike upbringing and character modelling is part of educational teachings in christian mission schools. so how does a islamic student fit in, if not to go there to spread islam. that is the target, to spread islam every where, they want to get into christian institutions and then enforce islamic ethics with their numbers

  That is exactly their intention, spearheaded by the education minister using his position as the education minister, to enforce the wrong intent.

  I completely agree with this article. Mission schools were built on a Christian mandate. Government funding doesn't terminate that mandate. There have been veiled attempts to securalize or islamize mission schools across the country and Wesley Girls is just one among many. Just as I don't support government to terminate the mandate of Christian mission schools, I don't support same for Islamic schools. Islamic schools should keep to their mandate and Christian schools should keep to their mandate. Mandate is not discrimination. Dr Bawumia should be careful with his utterances around this sensitive matter. We have coexisted peacefully with the current model and I think we should keep it that way in the name of peace. What is happening in Nigeria right now is our closest lesson as to how we should be circumspect in this matter. We can run three models currently with their respective mandates and still be fine in this country: Pure Government or public schools, Christian Mission schools (either with or without government support) and Islamic Mission Schools (either with or without government support) and probably any other appropriate model

  I am very humbled by your detailed analysis of this sensitive issue, by demonstrating fairness but at the same time-principled Christian values-should be respected and advocated for when necessary.
  I have warned Ghanaians about Bawumia. Bawumia IS A MUSLIM and Muslims are a Minority in Ghana. We Christians are the majority. MUSLIMS are trouble makers in NIGERIA, MALI, NIGER, etc.
  Boko Haram is abducting Nigerian innocent school children. HAMAS is killing innocent Jews. Hazbollah is killing innocent Jews.
  GHANA ELECTORATE-Be warned about Bawumia.

  The TRUTH hurts. That is THE SILENT TRUTH. ASHANTIS WILL NOT VOTE FOR BAWUMIA. Even USA vote on tribal lines. White men and most especially white women refused to vote for Kamala Harris because she is black and Indian heritage. The USA whites voted for Trump even though they knew that Donald Trump is a racist and a bigot. We all vote on tribal lines and so be warned the SILENT MAJORITY SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED. DR Adutwum is the best person. In the USA-the Democratic Party gave Kamala Harris one chance and she LOST to Donald Trump very badly and so the DEMOCRATIC PARTY are looking for a new CANDIDATE. Kamala Harris has moved and she now wants to be the Governor of the State of Carlifornia. Bawumia was given the same chance as Kamala Harris and he BLEW IT. Because Bawumia was part of the corrupt NPP Akuffo Addo government- Bawumia was the Vice President- Chairman of the National Economic Management Committee and he failed with the collapse of the Ghana economy, hardships everywhere, pensioners money stolen by force etc etc. Bawumia IS A FAILED ECONOMIC MESSIAH. Bawumia to go to WALEWALE like Kamala Harris as Vice President of the USA-gone to Carlifornia. Bawumia-you are a LIAR, you are corrupt as Akuffo Addo.
  Excuse me- Bawumia HAD THE chance- He was the Vice President for 8 years but he performed VERY POORLY. NDC Mahama won 57% and Bawumia 43%. The North opf Ghana Regions DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM. The reason why Bawumia had the chance in 2024 was the Akuffo Addo bribing Chairman Wontumi with JUICY CONTRACTS, 450 Million US dollars free loan from AXIM bank, Roads Contract etc-then Wontumi being a fool ditched ALAN KYEREMATEN with the Akuffo Addo Akyem Abuakwa plan-BREAK THE 8 YEARS- It did NOT work. NPP lost in HISTORICAL TERMS. Bawumia IS A COLLATERAL DAMAGE- HE is A MAMPRUSI AND THE BAWKU CONFLICT IS BETWEEN THE MANPRUSIS AND THE KUSASIS- BAWUMIA IS A THREAT TO GHANA NATIONAL SECURITY. BAWUMIA IS ALSO A MUSLIM. THEN DR ADUTWUM IS THE NEXT BEST ALTERNATIVE.98231

  Wonderful article and I fully doff my hat to the three contributors so far. I attended Presbyterian Mission School, and fully agree that government funding or support for mission schools should not put an end to the principled Christian values taught by the Mission schools.

  Absolutely great defense!
  
  They are Christian Mission Schools for a reason, and though they don't object to anyone from other faiths studying in these schools, they can't allow anyone to trample on the rules and regulation guiding how the schools are run.
  
  I have seen this in Senegal - a majority Muslim country with less than 3% Christian population, where they can't get their Muslims institutions to function according to required standards, so everyone hurtles to the Christian Mission Schools (which are rather disciplined, principled, hardworking and produce the best results) with their kids and force to do things their way, thus asking to disrespect rules and regulations they came to meet.
  
  Senegal has this problems all the years round.
  
  It's been the same in Nigeria.

  The root of the problem is our politicians, who take money from anywhere. So they go big loans from Islamic countries, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey etc, The fall out is their citizens end up here in large numbers wanting to construct mosques all over, applying pressures and pretensions of discrimination to expand their influence. Their numbers have grown through these unthought through greed for money without regards for its source. We think we have a Christian president, ask yourself why all his children have Muslim names.
