Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has accused the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of secretly introducing LGBTQ-related content into Ghana’s school curriculum.

In a social media post on Tuesday, January 13, the Assin South MP criticised the printing and distribution of teacher manuals and other teaching and learning materials, claiming they contain content designed to promote LGBTQ sexuality education in schools.

The former Deputy Minister for Education alleged that the governing party had acted in bad faith, saying it had “mischievously and deliberately smuggled LGBTQ agenda into the curriculum” despite publicly presenting itself as opposed to LGBTQ issues.

According to him, the materials currently being used in schools contradict Ghana’s cultural and moral values and were introduced quietly through official curriculum channels.

He therefore demanded the immediate recall of all affected textbooks and teacher manuals, both in print and online, insisting that any portions of the curriculum he believes promote LGBTQ issues should be reviewed and removed without delay.

Rev. Fordjour also warned the government against using the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) and the Ministry of Education to advance what he described as “this vile and evil agenda.”

He further linked the alleged curriculum changes to the delay in Parliament’s consideration of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, describing the situation as “diabolical and dangerous.”

According to him, the delay in placing the private member’s bill on the Order Paper is part of a broader attempt to push LGBTQ issues through the education system.

Calling on the public to act, he urged Ghanaians to “rise up to resist the NDC LGBTQ agenda,” warning that it threatens the country’s values and future.
