Minister slams school prayer bans, warns of rising tensions

Ghana's Interior Minister is sounding alarms about Muslim students getting forced to hide while praying at some mission schools, and he singled out Wesley Girls' High School for allegedly making kids spy on each other to stop Islamic worship. Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka warned that blocking basic religious practices could blow up into major social problems if nobody fixes the situation.

The minister pointed out that other institutions like Achimota and Presbyterian Secondary already give Muslim students designated spots to pray during breaks without wrecking school routines. He said letting kids take five minutes for worship between classes shouldn't get treated like some crime, and schools need to balance respecting faith with keeping academic standards intact before the whole thing turns into bigger divisions across society.
