Why Teach Dating And Courtship At Primary 5? - Atik Queries
General Secretary of the People's National Convention (PNC), Atik Mohammed, is wondering what the Ghana Education Service (GES) intends to achieve by teaching primary 5 pupils 'dating and courtship'.
If you have a copy of the CSE document, you would have seen a section which states: "Module 4 Session 3: Relationships: friendship, dating and courtship." This module is for pupils in primary 5 (10 years). Primary six pupils will be taught fertility, pregnancy-related issues and childbirth, relationship; marriage and family life, concept of gender; norms, roles and stereotyping.
Reacting to this on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Atik Mohammed does not understand why small children will be taught dating and courtship.
