The Wesley Girls Senior High School controversy has drawn official attention from major Christian bodies in Ghana. Both the Catholic Bishops Conference and the Christian Council of Ghana have publicly addressed the issue, calling for a balanced approach that respects both the mission school identity and students’ rights to religious freedom.
Meanwhile, the Anglican Church of Ghana has voiced its support for schools’ rights to enforce traditional rules, reflecting a diversity of Christian perspectives on accommodating Muslim students’ practices.
The debate highlights how Ghana’s deeply rooted religious institutions are navigating contemporary legal and cultural expectations especially within publicly funded education. As discussions continue, stakeholders argue for respectful dialogue that honors both institutional values and Ghana’s constitutional guarantees of freedom of worship.
