Wesley Girls’ Senior High School is facing a lawsuit over allegations that it prevents Muslim students from practicing their religion.
The lawsuit, filed by Ghanaian citizen Shafic Osman, claims that the school’s policies are unconstitutional and inconsistent with students’ rights.
Osman argues that the school’s actions go against Ghana’s 1992 Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion.
According to Osman, the school prevents Muslim students from observing their religious practices, which is a violation of their rights.
He is asking the court to declare the school’s policies unconstitutional and is also seeking clear guidelines from the Ghana Education Service (GES) to ensure religious rights are respected in all public schools.
This case portrays the ongoing debate about balancing religious freedom and school policies in Ghana’s educational system.
The lawsuit has sparked concerns about the rights of Muslim students in Ghana and the need for schools to respect and accommodate their religious practices.
