National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has voiced support for increased involvement of churches in the management of mission schools in Ghana. Nketiah argued that the historical contributions of churches to the development of education in the country should be recognized and that their continued involvement could encourage further investment in these institutions.
At the SDA Church's centenary celebration, Nketiah emphasized that churches establish mission schools not only for academic education but also to instill their values and principles in children. He argued that government financial support should not diminish the role of these religious bodies in shaping the identity and values of the schools.
Nketiah emphasized that parents and students should be aware of the mission schools' ethos and disciplinary requirements when applying for admission.
