📍📍VOKSPOTLIGHT📍📍
Meet Prince Duah, an NSMQ alumnus and a Level 500 medical student at the University of Ghana and the current President of the University of Ghana Medical Students’ Association (UGMSA).
From Denkyira Asikumah in the Central Region, where he grew up with limited resources and lost his mother at a young age, Prince’s journey has been one of resilience, discipline, and unwavering focus. Despite attending less-endowed schools, he rose to academic excellence at Ngleshie Amanfro SHS, earning multiple awards and representing his school at the National Science and Maths Quiz.
After SHS, he traded in the Kasoa market to fund his education, a season that shaped his work ethic and determination. In 2021, he gained admission to pursue Medicine, and today, he stands as a student leader and advocate, impacting lives through leadership and service.
His story is a powerful reminder that where you start does not define where you can go. With faith, grit, and purpose, anything is possible. 🇬🇭🩺🌟
The National Council of Parent-Teacher Associations (NCPTA) has condemned what it describes as growing religious discrimination in public secondary schools, warning that such actions violate the 1992 Constitution and undermine the rights of students across the country. #CitiNewsroom #CitiFM #GhanaNews

These days, the answer to everything is “build your own” especially whenever you point out discrimination in any establishment.
So what now? We all have to build our own hospitals, our own roads, our own estates just to be treated fairly?
But honestly, this mindset is exactly why we’re not progressing as a society.
We’re terrified of questioning things that have been around forever, even when they clearly don’t fit the times we’re living in.
Just because something worked years ago doesn’t mean it makes sense now.
We learn by challenging, we grow by trying and yes, mistakes will happen.
But how else do we move forward if we’re too afraid to even try?
E go reach everyone…
Thank you for continuously speaking up.
The kind of comments I've seen in this discussion are blatant Islamophobia. It's all been real hate disguised as concern but we can see through the BS.
Full bigotry on display.
Something people really need to understand with regards to this issue. These kids are not asking the missionary schools to drop their doctrines and teach theirs, all their asking for is do not force them to stop fasting during their ramadans or do not stop them from taking up leadership roles just because they are Muslims.
It does not take much for us to be tolerant.
It does not take anything from us if we allow Muslims to observe Ramadan. Our Christian institutions will not collapse because a Muslim fasted or observed Ramadan while schooling in them.
It only takes tolerance and understanding❤️.
Dear esteemed Christian Council and Catholic Bishops,
With much reverence,I greet you with the love of God.
I have read your statement, and I acknowledge that your schools were founded to nurture both intellectual learning and the virtues of the Christian faith. Infact, no one has ever disputed the fact that you established schools.
Yet it remaineth unclear what harm might befall a Christian school should Muslim students be permitted to observe their fast. Your statement failed to mention that.
For we ask not for a mosque, neither for a slaughter house for a Sallah cow; but only those things which are reasonably practicable, such as the right to observe Ramadan and pray in a quiet corner, even as hath been done in esteemed Christian PRESEC for many decades.
Respectfully, two questions:
What detriment doth Wesley Girls or Augusco suffer when Muslim students’ fast and hold quiet prayers, neither lifting up their voices nor troubling any?
In what manner doth this diminish Christian values, hinder the shaping of character, or disturb the Christian life upon the campus?
This, I beseech thee, make plain unto us.
Very truly yours,
Kofi Asare,

Legon Bypass.
@wbabamu I have read comments on here which goes to detail the main issue at bay , if there are Muslim communities that bars Christian worship, that’s wrong too and nobody has stopped Christians from talking against it , so Muslim also have a claim and that’s the point.
