The Ghana Education Service (GES) is accused of encouraging anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment and discrimination by unnecessarily singling out same-sex sexual conduct in schools as misconduct. Human rights group Rightify Ghana has brought attention to a recent update in the “Code of Conduct for Students in the Pre-Tertiary Levels of Education in the GES.” The GES, responsible for implementing educational policies and programs, added a new provision stating, “Any sexual conduct between students of the same sex shall constitute misconduct.” This addition appears redundant, given that the existing code of conduct already deems it a misconduct for any student to engage in sexual relations. The new clause seemingly serves little purpose other than emphasising queer sexuality as especially problematic.
