The Ghana National Education Campaign Coalition (GNECC) has called for calm between the Wesley Girls High School and the Ghana Education Service (GES) over the right of a Muslim student to fast in school in the ongoing Ramadan. “We believe that each party in their respective viewpoints do wish the best for the child concerned. But this can only be done in the midst of calm. History has shown that whenever decisions are made out of turbulence, other problems were given birth to,” it said. The GNECC, which made the call in a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency, and signed by its Executive Council Chairman, Mr Joseph Atsu Homadzi, said it was also their concern that the School did not heed the GES directive.

Civil society organisations across Africa call for protection from coronavirus to be a global public good, freely and fairly available to all
Covid-19 has killed over a hundred thousand people across Africa, decimated African economies, and pushed millions of people into poverty and hunger with no end in sight unless there is a shift to ensure immediate full access to vaccines. The virus has profoundly exploited existing inequalities, disproportionately affecting frontline healthcare and other essential workers most of whom are women, and people who were already living in poverty.
Ensuring every African can get a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine, swiftly and free of charge, is the most effective way to save lives and livelihoods, keep our children in school, reduce unemployment rates and re-open our economies. Without it, gains made by African countries on issues of food security, democratic governance, gender justice and women’s rights will be reversed completely.
