A Reflection on the Socio-Religious Environment of Ghana in the Wake of Religious Plurality
Religion has become an inevitable human institution in the society.

Different religious groups have existed and operated in Ghana, and there is a probability…

The study which examines the meaning, significance and relevance of Sunsum …

Since schools have access to trained professionals and resources, it is assumed that this is the only place where students’ moral and ethical development can be reinforced and flourish. As a result, the school’s role is to support students in developing their moral judgment. However, present students’ behaviour in the post-free senior high school period is getting out of hand, both on school…
