Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has clarified that all references to sex in Ghana’s education system should strictly reflect biological identity at birth.
Speaking at a training program in Tamale on the Ghanaian Youth Handbook and the rollout of the Guidance and Counselling (G&C) Framework, he addressed public concerns about content in some school manuals, emphasizing that instructional materials must clearly define males and females.
“When we refer to a man, a woman, or sex, we mean biological sex, the sex a person is born with. This reflects Ghanaian norms and values and guides how we want our children to grow and learn. The strength of our society depends on how well these values are sustain. learners should study in an environment that reinforces the country’s cultural identity. “he said.
Further, Haruna Iddrisu also revealed that his ministry has already corrected inconsistencies in some educational materials and will maintain uniformity moving forward.
