Invest in Integrated Islamic and Secular Schools to Drive Social Mobility, Adentan Education Chair Urges Muslims

ACCRA, GHANA — The Chairman of the Education Sub-Committee for the Adentan Municipal Assembly, Honorable Mohammed Nurudeen, has urged the Muslim community to heavily invest in integrated educational institutions. Speaking over the weekend at the graduation ceremony of the Al Ra'id International Community School in Ashale Botwe, where he served as the chairperson, Hon. Nurudeen emphasized that combining secular and Islamic education is crucial for reforming the educational framework of the Muslim community. He challenged the Ummah to actively fund and establish schools that successfully bridge the gap between academic excellence and spiritual development. "We must look at establishing centers that offer both secular and Islamic education. This is how we develop and improve our educational system as Muslims," Nurudeen stated. "I also advise the Ummah to support any of our brothers or sisters venturing into this sector. Collective effort will foster growth and create jobs." Hon. Nurudeen, who is also the Assembly Member for New Adenta, noted that education remains the ultimate tool for social mobility, but achieving this requires a deliberate shift in infrastructure investment within Muslim communities. He added that individual success must feed back into community development, stating that pooling resources to build dual-curriculum schools will create sustainable employment for youth while helping families climb the social ladder.
