Education Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh has admitted to comments made in a video currently being circulated on social media.
In the said viral video which was recorded on Wednesday, January 30, 2019, the Education Minister, popularly called Napo said: “We in Ghana see it as imperative that sexuality education should be part of the curricula that we will launch in September this year from Kindergarten (KG) to Senior High School (SHS).”
However, at a press conference held on Tuesday, October 1 to address various controversies that have emerged after Ghanaians got wind of the fact that CSE was being added to the curriculum, the Education Minister denied the above statement.
“As of this morning, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) has not approved any material on CSE as it is not included in the published curriculum and curriculum framework. One hundred and fifty-two thousand (152,000) teachers have been trained for the new curriculum which started in September and no teacher was trained on CSE,” Mr Opoku Prempeh said.
But speaking in an interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM’s morning show 'Kokrokoo', Dr Opoku Prempeh admitted the content of the video was true, adding, "but I wasn’t the only person there. It was discussed but not approved. The ones that were approved would be taken through as the curriculum. It is not everything that government agrees to. We cannot be forced to accept anything we don’t want to accept."
He further noted that even though CSE was in the teacher's training manual, it is not part of the current curriculum.

These following suggestions should be added to the school curriculum instead. They must teach in schools about corruption so that after graduation they will not and indulge in corruption. Also, teach them about cleanliness so our environment will be kept clean and drop the LGBBT.
The devil is a liar...{Remember the old serpent deceived Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden strategy} The CSE is just a bait to introduce LGBT. Surprisingly, this Education minister has backtracked. Already, the Ghanaian culture has classified LGBT is a TABOO. How do you reverse it?
Hahahahahaha, Look at his lyingg face. Their satanic and evil propaganda will be broken. Amen.
@Ray, my guess is we can't. We cannot trust them. Period.
Listening to the Education minister and his able PRO, Every Ghanaians should be sad.Blaming every issue that befalls the sector on John Mahama. John Mahama has hacked the software for student placement. John Mahama has bussed parents and pupils to independence square, John paid parents to collapse and fainted at Independence square, John Mahama did not built more schools that is why we have double track, John Mahama built community school in ***barred word***.John Mahama did not build dormitories in the community day school. Thank God, NDC was blamed for the video of the Minister in social media.Mahama for this time was not blamed. GHANA DESERVES BETTER.
i want to ask Nana Akuffo Addo(aka Solomon), what is the use of building God a temple if you will bring in satanic agenda to the same people? you demolished buildings to make way for God's temple and the same person is bringing in satanic CSE. Master you cannot serve God and mammon wai. Choose ye these day whom you will serve. God? Mammon?
Thank God Mahama is not being blamed for his, we voted to npp to relieve us of our burdens but they are rather stea1ing and bring us CSE which will turn this nation into Sodom and Gomorrah. God forbid
China, Singapore, India etc.. have preoccupied themselves with how their pupils and students would make new technological breakthroughs through education. On the other hand see what we want to teach our pupils. What at all is wrong with the blackman and for that matter Ghana man
look at his ***barred word*** face and nose like boffrot. what is know best is shifting blame, thank God you did not accuse mahama this time. arrogsnce is what will definately send you into opposition. ***barred word***
