Catholic bishops went after Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu for his Parliament comments about Wesley Girls' High School, and they called his take needless plus unfortunate. Bishop Matthew Gyamfi from the Catholic Bishops' Conference said the government can't force religious rules on mission schools unless it takes them over completely, and he pointed out these institutions have traditions older than independence itself.
An agreement already exists where parents sign off if their kids want to fast during Ramadan or do religious stuff that might mess with academics or health. Gyamfi said bishops will respect whatever the courts decide, but mission schools operate under specific faith-based frameworks that shaped their whole identity and success over the years.
