Asiedu Nketiah backs greater church role in running mission schools

A Memorandum of Understanding on religious tolerance and freedom in private and government-assisted mission schools was facilitated by the National Peace Council as part of efforts to provide a framework for managing religious diversity in such institutions.

His comments come amid an ongoing national debate over the management and religious identity of government-assisted mission schools.

Johnson Asiedu Nketiah National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has backed calls for greater involvement of churches in the management of mission schools, arguing that stronger participation by the founding religious bodies could encourage further investment in education.
