Addai-Mununkum, R (2017). Adding and Dividing by Religion: The Not-So-Hidden Curriculum of Mission-Public Schools in Ghana. Religion & Education, 44,
Abstract
With the abundance of religious conflicts globally, public schools are called to nurture students for this religiously plural world. To achieve this, scholarship has overly focused on promoting teaching about religion to the neglect of schools’ religious climate and its’ impact on diversity education. This article, written to fill this need, is based on a qualitative case study of 3 pseudo-religious public schools in Ghana. Through interviews, observations, and focus groups, I infer from the findings to argue that, although opportunities exist for schools to create dialogue out of their diversities, it also offers scenarios for dissections along religious lines.
