Ghanaian Mother Preventing Son From Attending PRESEC Because Her Church Doesn't Believe In Education
- A bright student named Evans faces enrollment challenges as his mother, influenced by a new faith, opposes formal education
- Despite social welfare involvement and ongoing community persuasion efforts, the mother remains steadfast, blocking attempts to enrol Evans in Presec, Legon
- Recognising the sensitivity of the issue, the community seeks a compassionate resolution and has engaged with the church leader
A brilliant young boy called Evans faces an uncertain future as his mother is preventing him from furthering his education after completing junior high school.
The mother's action is due to her newfound faith at a church called God's Kingdom at Last, where education is disapproved.
In a Facebook post, it was revealed that Evans has gained admission to PRESEC, Legon and his basic school teachers have bought all the items on the prospectus, but his mother remains steadfast in her decision.

However, they do not know where the mother is keeping Evans and need an alternative way to reach the young boy so he can go to school in January 2024.
Concerned for Evans' future, the community is engaged in a two-week-long persuasion effort, seeking alternatives before considering legal intervention.
