The Wesley Girls’ High School Old Girls’ Association (OGA) has rejected recent claims of religious discrimination at the Cape Coast–based institution, describing the allegations as baseless and misleading.
In a statement issued on December 11, 2025, and signed by OGA President Harriet Wereko-Brobby, the association reaffirmed that Wesley Girls’ has, throughout its history, admitted students from a wide range of religious backgrounds. These include Christians from various denominations as well as students of other faiths, all of whom, the OGA noted, have flourished within a disciplined and values-based environment anchored in Methodist principles.
The association stressed that the school’s guidelines—developed in line with the 2024 Memorandum of Understanding between the Methodist Church Ghana and the government—are intended to uphold discipline, ensure safety, and maintain the institution’s long-standing academic excellence. These regulations, it emphasized, are applied uniformly and without discrimination.
While acknowledging that the constitution guarantees freedom of religion, the OGA argued that such freedoms must coexist with institutional rules that preserve Wesley Girls’ identity and cherished traditions. Granting individualized religious exemptions, the association warned, could disrupt school administration and compromise the standards that define the institution.
The OGA appealed to the public to approach discussions on the matter with calm and respect, reiterating that Wesley Girls’ remains a welcoming environment for all students who choose to be part of its community.
Reaffirming its support for the Headmistress, the School Board, and the Methodist Church Ghana, the association called for continued protection of the values that have shaped generations of “godly, confident, capable, and principled women.”
