If you don’t agree with school’s religious practices, find another – Aheto-Tsegah

Charles Aheto-Tsegah, former Director of the Ghana Education Service, weighed in during an interview on GHOne TV, urging students to choose institutions aligning with their faith.

He emphasized that attending a school with differing religious practices should not compromise one’s beliefs, adding, “You have the freedom to go to another school.”
