The meeting which took place within the week was published by the Minister of his facebook page on Thursday, October 10,2019.
“I was called upon by the National House of Chiefs in Kumasi to clarify government’s stance on the brouhaha over Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) which has been grossly misinterpreted and misrepresented by ill-meaning citizens.” He indicated.
In his statement, he took his time to lay evidence before Nananom that what they worry about is not an initiative of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government but rather, has been part of the curriculum from 2015.
“There is also evidence that Non-governmental Organisations operating in Ghana were allowed to carry out workshop and teacher trainings with elements of culturally non-conforming subjects.” He said.
The Minister indicated assured the chiefs that the new curriculum that had been rolled out from KG to Primary 6 did not incorporate CSE although it had been discussed.
“Since it had not been approved, we did not include it in our new Standards Based curriculum.” He said.
