The Methodist Church Ghana has rejected a directive by the Ghana Education Service to allow Muslim and other Students to fast provided their parents write an undertaking to the school.
In a press release, the church described the directive of the GES as a unilateral directive.
The Methodist Church urged the GES to respect the long-standing partnership between the government and mission schools.
The Wesley Girls Senior High School, a mission school belonging to the Methodist Church were directed by the GES to allow Muslim Students to fast as required by the tenets of their religion.
The School had refused to allow Students engage in any fasting insisting that this has been a long-standing rule in the school’s history.
