Story: Tim Dzamboe, Ho
A group Christian ladies in Ho, has likened the removal of religious education as a subject from the school curriculum in the educational reform as tantamount to the removal of God from the minds of children.
They said it could lead children to drift to their foolish ways and the end result is heaviness for the mother since women had the most heartbreak and suffered most when their children went wayward.
This was contained in a communiqué adopted at a Ho Christian Women’s Conference on the theme, “Christian Mum/ Lady, You Can Make A Difference” under the auspices of a non-governmental organization, Open Door Foundation (OPF) held in Ho.
The communiqué which was jointly signed by the director, Evangelist Blessed Fiawoo, Reverend Mrs Wilhemina Dzandu and Mrs Gladys Agbottah noted that , already lawlessness, disobedience, arrogance and immorality were gradually gaining grounds in the society.
It stated that religion shapes man to reach his or her fullest potential and withdrawal of it from the curriculum would mean a false balance of children and an abomination to God.
“This would eventually cripple posterity and the nation for, the future depends on the foundation we lay today”, the communiqué stated.
“Whatever reason that might be behind this decision we, women, wish to state that it should not be God the very source and foundation of life that must be withdrawn and, humbly request that religious and moral education be retained as a subject in the school syllabus if the authorities do not want things to get out of hand in our dear nation,” the communiqué stated.
