Interior Minister Muntaka Mubarak has raised concerns over what he describes as growing intolerance within both Christian and Muslim faith-based schools across the country. <\/p>\n

He cautioned that such practices risk deepening division and undermining Ghana\u2019s longstanding culture of religious coexistence.<\/p>\n

Speaking on JoyNews\u2019 Newsfile on Saturday, November 19, Mr Mubarak urged educational institutions, especially mission schools, to refrain from adopting discriminatory policies that restrict students\u2019 freedom of worship.<\/p>\n

He emphasised the importance of fairness, balance, and respect for the nation\u2019s religious diversity, noting that most Christian mission schools have historically upheld inclusive traditions.<\/p>\n

The Minister made a startling allegation during the programme, claiming that Wesley Girls\u2019 High School has gone as far as asking some students to monitor their Muslim colleagues to prevent them from praying.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me say this, that as I sit here with all respect and with all my integrity, Wesley Girls asks girls to even spy on the Muslim girls to make sure that they don\u2019t pray. I am told they hide to even pray. I am sorry, we are playing with something that can degenerate into something else,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

His remarks come as the Supreme Court has given the school\u2019s Board of Governors 14 days to respond to allegations that Muslim students face restrictions on fasting, prayers, and the wearing of the hijab.<\/p>\n

The case has taken a new dimension following the admission of **Democracy Hub** as an interested party, heightening expectations that the final ruling may redefine how mission schools address religious accommodation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
