The General Secretary of the National Council Parent Teacher Association (NCPTA), Raphael Kofi Gabson, has called on faith-based schools to end discrimination against students based on their religious practices.
He added that all public institutions, including public servants, must uphold the supremacy of the Constitution of Ghana, noting that schools have moved beyond their traditional rules.
“Schools have moved beyond traditional rules, philosophy of founder, private space and are now in a public. The schools are government institutions, and for that matter, they must serve the public interest,” he urged.
Speaking on Star FM Midday News, monitored by Angelonline.com.gh on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, Mr. Gabson emphasized that upholding the supremacy of the Constitution is important.
“As stated in article 1(2) in the 1992 constitution, the constitution must be supreme law of Ghana and any other law found to be inconsistent with any provision of this constitution, shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void,” he noted.
Speaking further on the matter, he reiterated that the government authority, including the recruitment of teachers in faith-based schools, operates within the powers of government.
“Largely, the schools have changed in normal culture and architecture. It’s the government that recruits teachers through the school computerized placement,” he added.
