Christian Council calls for protection of mission schools’ religious identity‎

‎He said the Council supported education as a national development priority and urged clear constitutional rules governing the relationship between religious freedom and education.‎ ‎The Council said the reforms should safeguard freedom of thought, conscience, belief and religion without undermining the right to education or the identity of mission-founded institutions.

Dr Boafo said educational institutions should, however, be allowed to maintain their distinctive religious character and practices, provided these did not infringe students’ constitutional rights.
