Old Tafo MP, Vincent Ekow Assafuah says he still has issues with the revised Senior High School teacher manual released by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment, NaCCA.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile monitored MyNewsGh, Assafuah said parts of the revised document still promote LGBTQ tendencies. He stressed that the new version is even more troubling than the one that was withdrawn.
“Conference must understand that there are certain parts of the document that espouse LGBTQ tendencies,” he said. “That is what I am bringing to the attention of the Ghanaian public.”
He explained that although NaCCA withdrew the earlier version, the replacement still contains definitions he finds worrying.
“The definitions in the revised document are worse than what we already saw,” Assafuah stated. “What they withdrew was bad, but this one is even more serious.”
NaCCA recently recalled printed copies of the SHS Year 2 Physical Education and Health teacher manual. The council admitted that some content on gender identity did not reflect Ghanaian values.
A revised version was later released, which NaCCA said was aligned with national culture and biological understanding.
Despite this, Assafuah said the problem still remains. “I commend them for withdrawing it. Their consistency is legendary,” he said. “But I am also saying that the revised version is in its worst form.”
