Private legal practitioner, Lawyer Moses Foh Amoaning says the decision to withdraw the comprehensive sexual education is a good idea.

However, he says they will continue to fight against it until it’s totally withdrawn from the country.

Speaking on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ qqprogramme, he explained that apart from what was to be taught in schools, there is a community aspect of it, that is being managed by the Plan Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG).

“So it is not only meant for the schools, they are engaging our Ghanaian youth,” he said.

He added that the CSE is a subtle way by the LGBT community to introduce Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender into the Ghanaian community.

“There is a full-force plan by the LGBT community to influence our society but we will not allow it.”

“As a group, we are putting up a comprehensive framework and solution to completely erase this devilish attitude and program from the country,” he added.

Meanwhile, Education Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh at a press conference cautioned faith-based organizations to fact check their information from official government sources before making utterances on matters arising.

His comment comes after some religious organizations and other groups stated that the CSE expected to be introduced to basic schools in 2020 will have a negative influence on the children and society as a whole.

Background

Ghana and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) launched the CSE program this year in a bid to empower adolescents and young people to deepen their scope of existing activities to attain a Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE).

Known as the “Our right, Our lives, Our Future,” the CSE is supported by the governments of Sweden and Ireland.

It is being implemented in Ghana, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe for the effective delivery of quality comprehensive sexuality programs.
