The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) and the Christian Council of Ghana (CCG) have expressed deep concern over their exclusion from the National Education Forum scheduled for February 18-19, 2025. Apexnewsgh reports
In a press statement released on February 17, the two major religious bodies described their omission as a setback to inclusive dialogue on the future of education in Ghana.
The GCBC and CCG have historically played a crucial role in Ghana’s education sector, overseeing many schools and advocating for policies that align with national values, traditions, and aspirations. They argue that their exclusion undermines efforts to create an equitable and holistic education system.
As key stakeholders in the educational sector, the GCBC and CCG believe their contributions are essential to discussions on the future of education in Ghana. “Our exclusion from this vital forum undermines the collaborative spirit that is essential to the success of any educational policy or reform,” they stated.
The two organisations have called on the government, particularly the Ministry of Education, to reconsider their exclusion and extend an invitation to ensure a truly inclusive forum. They believe their presence is crucial to creating policies that align with the values, traditions, and aspirations of the people of Ghana.
The GCBC and CCG have a long-standing commitment to the development and welfare of the educational system in Ghana. They have consistently worked to ensure that their educational institutions serve the needs of every Ghanaian child, irrespective of their background or beliefs.
