The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defense and Interior Committee, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of secretly introducing LGBTQ-related content into Ghana’s basic school curriculum.

In a social media post on Tuesday, the Assin South Member of Parliament criticised the printing and distribution of teacher manuals and other teaching and learning materials (TLMs), alleging they were designed to promote what he described as an “LGBTQ agenda” in schools.

Rev. Fordjour, a former Deputy Minister for Education, claimed the materials were produced and circulated despite what he said was the NDC’s public posture of opposing LGBTQ issues.
